Sensory Play

I’m not sure if u are on TikTok but I love finding ideas for sensory bins. I definitely recommend looking on TikTok for inspiration🫶🏻

It’s wonderful that your son loves sensory play! Messy play is such a great way for kids with autism to explore textures, develop motor skills, and engage their senses. Here are some ideas you can try: •Water play: Fill a bin with water and add things like cups, spoons, or small toys for scooping and pouring. You can also try colored water or add bubbles for variety. Kinetic sand: It’s great for building and shaping without too much mess. •Sensory bins: Fill a container with items like dry rice, beans, pom-poms, or stones. You can hide small toys for him to find. •Playdough or slime: These are excellent for squeezing and shaping. You can make them at home or buy different colors and textures. •Painting: Finger painting or using brushes with watercolors or washable paints can be a fun and creative sensory activity. •Foam or shaving cream: Let him squish and spread it on a table or tray. You can even hide small toys in it for extra fun
