One of the quickest, cheapest, and easiest ways to engage in sensory play is to use water. Playing with water is a great way to work on fine motor skills. Plus, it's a great way to cool off when the weather is warm. However, we enjoy playing with water year round so I have rounded up the best sensory soup ideas that I could find. Some include colored water. Some engage the sense of smell. Some use fresh herbs and flowers. Yet, all of them are super easy to set up. These 20 sensory soup water play ideas for kids should keep you busy all year long.
