At Time to Play Sensory, dried chickpeas are one of our favourite materials to work with. These smooth, round legumes offer a unique sensory experience with plenty of scope for open-ended playtimes. Their firm, yet smooth texture makes them great for scooping, pouring, running your fingers through, counting and sorting into different colours and shades. Chickpeas are naturally durable and unlike sand or tiny grains, chickpeas are larger, making clean up a real breeze!
