I'm drawing a blank on ideas. Dcb is 2 and cannot handle finger painting or anything messy like that and dcg 2 is not interested in play dough, but loves the messy activities. Any ideas of what other sensory things I could do with them?

What about kinetic sand? It's really fun and not very messy. My dd and dcg's are playing with ours right now.

Stamper paints are good for this age, kids love to pound away and it's hard to get too messy.

Water beads are clean if you give them a fairly deep bin to play in.

One of my favorite non-messy activities is letting the kids paint with water on the chalkboard easel (or if outdoors, on the sidewalk/patio)

I have an 18 mo old who doesn't like to get his hands messy but loves baggies filled with stuff and duct taped closed. I've done paint, hair gel and glitter, gel and small toys, etc.
