This is an easy no brainer activity.
Soak beads overnight until they reach their full size. Those tiny balls which fit in my palm turned into these!
Put them in a tray or any big container where they can move around
And just let the kids play with them. Roll them. Squish them.
It’s a great sensory activity and it lets your baby practice their pincer grasp (this means using their thumb and index finger to hold or pick up small objects). It looks like this.
Even my 6 year old enjoyed playing with them too. He liked squishing them.
