With it starting to get colder out now and Miles on modified quarantine I have to think of some creative ways to keep him entertain/occupied/and work on his sensory issues.
I would love a sensory/light table but atm we cant put out the 300+ bucks on one, so the other day I got creative and made my own little Sensory Box.
Step 1 you take any cardboard box you have lying around at the house and carve different shapes into both sides.
Then I found some white and green tissue paper (can use any) and ripped it up.
After that I wrote what the shapes were below them and shoved the paper in the box. I put it in front of Miles, who let me tell you was so excited while I was putting it together he could hardly wait to attack it lol. I would point to a shape and say "Miles pull it out of the circle" he would reach in and grab it and pull it out.
He just had a blast pulling the paper out of the different holes, he would look into the box when it got low and stick his hand through a hole to find it!
With all the paper out of the box it gave us a new extremely fun game to play.
Needless to say we had a fantastic day with this easy to do craft and play. I'm going to try and figure out more fun things to do with our shape box and other ideas I have and can blog about them to share with my fellow little ones couped up at home for the winter!
