My daughter is four and she absolutely loves her preschool. She loves learning and this month they are learning about the rainbow. I am really excited for her because I know that it will include a lot of artistic activities which she really enjoys. However, I have been asked to help out with the sensory station this week and I have no idea how to help her and her friends learn in that type of environment. I think that this post will be really useful and I especially love the idea of doing a rainbow foam dough. Would it stain the kids’ hands or clothes? I am just wondering if I should have them wear plastic gloves and aprons while doing that activity.

According to the author of the post, if you use liquid watercolors they will not stain, but food coloring will stain.
