  • Gallon sized zip-top bag
  • Colored hair gel
  • Print out of Shel Silverstein book covers or illustrations
  • Colored duct tape
To prepare the materials:
  1. Pour colored hair gel in a zip-top bag, close, and duct tape around the edges.
  2. Place the bag over a page in a Shel Silverstein book or print out of an illustration.
Procedure:  
  1. Invite child to use their finger to trace the letters and images behind the gel. Pictures with larger text and illustrations may work best for this activity. We recommend book covers.
Assessment:  
  • Observe the child's reaction to the sensory aspect of the activity. Did they enjoy seeing the "drawing" of their tracing? Did they react to the gel or the color change?
