Cloud Dough (the stuff at hands on museums) 8 cups flour & 1 cup baby oil. It feels like flour as you run your fingers through it, but it's moldable. A wonderful sensory activity for children.

I found these linking pieces at JoAnn Fabrics. The kids love to hook them together at the fine motor station and make necklaces and bracelets.

My lava/worms/bees paper. Lava burns if child makes lowercase letters above lava line. Bees attack if anythign goes above upper line. Worms attack if anything goes below lower lines besides tail letters.
