Therapy doesn’t have to look the same for each child, in fact, it should look quite different! For some children being outdoor is where you get the best engagement. What a fun way to work on sensory play, fine motor coordination, and imaginative play!

Just when I start to question if everything I am doing is worth it I get a message like this from a patient. I would do it all over 100x again to make someone have THIS feeling!

This is exactly why I do what I do. Recovery can look different, home can be the most therapeutic place and goals can be met faster when you’re in an environment you are comfortable in!

I saw these resources shared by The Sensory Spectrum and had to share them, as I love how simple this resource makes it easy to understand the difficulties some children face when taking in the environment around them!

Another snow day means some more sensory activities at home! These two were extremely easy and have kept my three-year-old busy for almost an hour so far.

Sensory bottle:
- Empty water bottle
- Water
- Oil (we used vegetable)
- Sensory items! (We used little Pom Pom’s)
- Food coloring (We did not have any but it would make it extra fun)
- Tape to tape the lid

We loved adding oil because it separates from the water and gives a “lava lamp” effect. We also picked which pom pom would win the “race” when we flip it over!

Sensory bin:
- Large Tupperware
- Rice
- Any items such as Pom poms, safety pins, coins (if they are of the age to not eat items), pony tails, ect.
- Small tongs

We have practiced organizing items by color, picking them up with the tongs and placing them in a bowl, and balancing them on a spoon!!

Have fun and happy snow day!❄️
