7 Sensory Ideas for Valentine’s Day
Can you believe it’s Valentine’s Day already?! Here at Redbank House, we have put together 7 sensory ideas for Valentine’s day found on Pinterest about how to keep your little ones entertained with a Valentine’s Day theme.
Although pink may not be everyone’s favourite colour, a lot of the blog ideas this week have pink involved. Valentines Day is a fun holiday that can be celebrated by everyone, including your children.

Princess Slime
We combine the wonderfully gooey texture with lots of pink and purple sparkles creating a great time of exploration for a few super crazy, princess-loving kiddos. Of course it doesn’t need to be pink – but pink does fit with our valentines theme.
