You've reminded me that it's the little things that count when it comes to entertaining toddlers and keeping ourselves sane. Spontaneous songs and dances - check! Crazy faces - check! And yes, snacks are a sure-fire winner too, albeit a last resort as cleaning up crumbs with a frazzled mind is not ideal!

Agreed! I enjoy preparing these sensory toys with my daughter on a Sunday afternoon. We use different coloured glitter, sequins, or even small plastic gems, so each calming jar is unique and themed. One tip would be to ensure the glitter isn't too thick so that it takes forever to settle - no one's got time for that! Also, letting your toddler decorate the jar encourages their creativity and sense of ownership. This means they are more willing to reach for this calming activity when big emotions strike!
