Gel Bags

Recommended Resource:	Gel Bags Made by using sealable food bags (preferably sticky seals rather than clip seals) , hair gel and any interesting items; feathers, sequins, shapes etc…
How can this be used?	Box can be left out and the children asked 'What's inside?' As the children explore, the practitioner can hide something in the final box as treasure. Problem solving is then required to put the boxes back as you found them! The boxes can also be used for children to make collections in, use for sorting and look at size. For older children, you can use them to make sound collections eg a 'sssss' box.

Where can I find this resource:	I have, so far, managed to wear out two sets from Ikea. These are great as the boxes are circular so don't have tricky corners and they are vibrantly coloured to help match the right lid to the right box. However, a lot of gift shops (Downtown in Grantham too) sell gift boxes so you could make your own version.
