DIY sensory toys for babies - Part 1

Now that B is almost 6 months old, she is much more alert to her surroundings and are always interested in the activities that we are engaged in.

I had previously DIY 2 toys for her, ie: toilet roll shaker (filled with millet) and glitter glue sensory bottle.


The current DIY toy in progress would be a lava lamp. I could still remember the red/green lava lamp my Mom bought for me eons ago. I had great fun playing with it,especially during moments when I need to sort through my thoughts.

I didn't want to spend money to buy blue dye (food dye etc) to create the 'blue' lava lamp that I had in mind as I am pretty sure I would never use the dye again especially while cooking.

*who would be interested in blue coloured food? Perhaps only for rainbow cakes*

My solution is to 'break apart' 2 of my blue magic pens and soak the ink filled cotton-like tubings into a bottle of water. Within 10 mins, I have my blue coloured water!
