Sensory Activities .. Round 2

There are hundreds and thousands of pins showing great sensory activities. I tried sensory bags as tummy time when my LO was younger, but he wasn't totally on board. 

Well, I figured why not try again? First we tried the water bottled with glitter (maybe glitter overload - whoops mommy) and shape buttons. He is mildly interested at first. Later, he found it in the ground and decided it was a good chew you and slightly intriguing. 

Next up: ribbon box, so he could chew and pull in various ribbons. This one was a little more fascinating and has a longer play life. I will definitely keep bringing it out, as he can figure out a few new skills with this one. 

It was easy to make, as I had plenty of ribbon around and a shoe box. I just tied the ribbons at different lengths, so they couldn't come through the box completely. I also used various textures. 

Last up for this week: sensory bag (again), except I used water instead of hair gel. It makes a much better noise and would be easier to clean up if he broke into it. He is enjoying it much more now! 

I will definitely keep trying sensory activities. I feel they will become more interesting as he gets older and will come in handy during cold winter months! Plus, I normally have everything in the house already (like this time).
