Matthew had a blast with this. Now that he's getting bigger we've been doing fun projects and the preschool teacher in me is definitely coming out! It helped him with observation & discovery and sensory awareness.
Squeeze several tablespoons of ketchup or mustard into a quart-sized resealable plastic bag. Lay the bag flat and squeeze out as much air as possible. Place that resealable plastic bag into another one (just in case the first bag splits), and give it to your child to squish around.
Draw a few small pictures (smiley faces, stars, hearts, etc.) on a piece of paper and place the squishy bag over it. Show your child how to use his finger to press down and displace the ketchup or mustard to reveal the pictures below.
