DIY Gel Tracing Bag

My daughter is learning how to write her letter and numbers right now. I was looking for a mess free way for her to practice that was also fun. First you will need these materials:


All items can be bought at a Dollar Store or you might even have on hand! 

~ Styling Gel
~ Food coloring of choice
~ Glitter(optional)
~ The slider Ziploc bags ( I used the large freezer bags)
~ Qtips


Open the Ziploc bag and squirt in the styling gel I used about half for one bag but I was using larger bags. I then had my children pick out what color they wanted and they put in drops of food coloring in each bag. We also added glitter in our bags to make them sparkle. Zip your bag up and your ready to go! Use a q-tip to help write, now you have a reusable writing pack. My 2 year old just liked to swirl his around but my daughter started working on her letter right away! All they need to do is wipe with hand to erase and ready to start again. Just put the bag away to use later. 



Have Fun and God Bless!
