This is a foil blanket (space blanket) same as you may see given to people in accidents/disasters etc and after running races. You can get them quite easily online cheapily, I got a pack of 2 for only a few pounds. The other blanket is actually in my car in case of any emergency/car breakdown and we need to keep warm so its turned out to be a very practically activity too!
As the girls have grown they have adapted their own ideas to this activity and like to bring toys with flashing lights and sit/lay with the blanket over the top of them and watch the colours reflect on the blanket.
They also like to use it to make 'Space tents' and hide from Aliens!
Have you tied sensory socks? Old socks and put things in them and either sew or tie tops. Kez had pennies, marbles, the paper from round Christmas sweets, lavender, cloves (with crinkly paper). She has grown out of them now really but I have the cloves in my handbag to make it smell nice.
