This is a simple sensory activity to keep under 5s occupied. Children learn through different sense channels and this is a good one for those tactile learners. Great for toddlers to squish and experiment with tracing shapes and squiggles, preschoolers will also enjoy practicing their letters and numbers in the sauce and then watching it disappear for another turn.

It is a really fast activity to set up which uses materials you probably already have in your pantry. It's a good one to set up if the kids are bored and you're getting a meal ready, because it's something you can make in the kitchen on the fly.

If you're worried about wasting food, you could always snip a corner of the zip lock bag and get the kids to squeeze some of the sauce onto their dinner once it's ready.
