Baked Cotton Balls
I came across this post on pinterest from Play Create Explore – I think it’s a super great idea, not only as a sensory activity, cooking activity and color practice, but a great way to get out a little aggression and pent up energy. As you may figure out by now we have allergy considerations due…
