Sensory Hands...These are cheap and easy to make and virtually free to make. I used non-latex gloves that were donated to me. I filled each glove with a different texture (flour, rice, split peas, kidney beans, cotton balls, oatmeal and I think they are red beans). Any filling will work and flour is the favorite one. It is super soft and fun to play with. I used string and made lots of knots to tie them off. I have had these hands for a couple of years and they have yet to break open. But if they do, they are easy to re-make :-) I have also seen this done with balloons (you just fill a balloon and don't inflate them).

I just made some of these. Great idea for the science area! Thanks! :)
