What a fantastic sensory creative play idea! Love this. Buba and Missy Moo would be in pure heaven with this kind of activity. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. Love all the action photos too! #sharewithme Trisia Farrelly, an environmental anthropologist at Massey University, has called for a ban on glitter made of polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) and aluminium, as it is a microplastic that can leach hormonal disruptors into the environment. [11] Furthermore, plastic glitter takes about one thousand years to biodegrade, according to Victoria Miller, a materials and engineering scientist at North Carolina State University. [41] When dozens of British music festivals pledged to ban single-use plastics by 2021, the proposed ban included plastic glitter. [42]

I’m always interested in trying out different sensory play activities with the boys, even something very simple can grab their attention and provide an opportunity to explore something new. To find out more about why sensory play is importantyou can read my previous post and also get some ideas for lots more materials to use.We played with this in a glass tray. The pictures can’t really capture it perfectly, but it creates a really pretty effect. This is a very relaxing and calming sensory tray to explore, unlike some of the bigger sensory bins we have made which include vehicles or play people, this one is really just about exploring the materials.

Since prehistoric times, glitter has been made from many different materials including stones such as malachite, and mica, [5] as well as insects [6] and glass. [7] Uses for glitter include clothing, arts, crafts, cosmetics and body paint. [8] [9] Modern glitter is usually manufactured from the combination of aluminum and plastic, which is rarely recycled and finds its way into the aquatic habitats, eventually becoming ingested by animals, leading some scientists to call for bans on plastic glitter.
