Kids love sensory experiences, especially if they’re toddlers. But older children have a blast with them too.

So keep your kids entertained with this super fun sensory activity on Valentine’s Day. It’s a real game-changer!

They will be able to delve into the colors associated with the day of love.

TikTok creator Karla Gunter (@karlaitzelgunter) has a recipe for an edible and taste-safe sensory foam that requires only three ingredients. It’s so easy to whip up and much better than buying from the store.

Most homemade sensory foam recipes include the use of soap, but in this case, you’ll be using garbanzo liquid in its place.

So the sensory foam is safe to consume for those little ones who are still learning not to put everything in their mouths.

The foam does not taste good by any means, but at least they won’t be eating soap!

Here’s how to make this easy-peasy foam. Start by mixing drained garbanzo liquid (aquafaba) and a bit of baking powder in a large bowl.

Add a few drops of pink, purple, or red food coloring and continue mixing on high for about five to ten minutes.

The consistency of the mixture should be thick and fluffy. Scoop the foam into a large shallow container.

Then, let your child explore and sink their hands into it!

It’s one of those activities that you will return to time and time again. You can switch the colors up to go with the theme of any holiday and include different items or toys to add to the foam.

Everyday household items work well for this activity. Kitchen utensils like measuring cups, a whisk, or a spoon are fun for kids to play with.

It just goes to show that you don’t need expensive toys to connect with your kiddos. So let the foamy fun begin!
