Tapioca Sensory Play

We just want to play with these beauties all day long! Really, we couldn’t keep our hands off of them- isn’t it a good thing we teach pre schoolers? Just one of the many things we love about our job. But now you too can rock this activity and be the coolest mom, aunt or Grandma ever! You’re welcome!

Here’s the scoop about the benefits and the how to essentials:

We buy our sensory water beads at the local Asian Grocery Store. They are called Tapioca Pearls and come in bags of multi colored, white or black. Traditionally they are used for the yummy Boba green tea that has caught on like wildfire especially in California. They are actually large tapioca balls which when boiled for between 5-15 minutes depending upon the package instructions will soften and feel super slimy, soft and squishy.
