Sound hunts- we listen for nature sounds on our walk or when we are at outdoor play and we mimic and try to guess what thing or animal is making the sound.

Sensory play table- using natural items such as feathers, pinecones, shells, etc.

✨ DIY Weighted Stuffed Animal for Sensory Calming Input ✨ These weighted stuffed animals have been a true game changer for my kids (and honestly me too). The weight of the stuffed animal calms my son almost immediately if he's in a particularly wild mood, or if he is having trouble getting his arms and legs to settle when I put him to sleep at night. The weight adds just the right amount of proprioceptive input for him to feel calmer and settle easier. For my daughter, she has been loving it in her calm down corner where she will set it on her lap while she does deep breathing or when she's taking a break/reading a book. I'm so glad I chose to make these for them! Weighted stuffed animals were around $35-$40 a piece on Amazon, so I wanted to try to make my own and save some $$. Total win in my opinion! 🔗 I added the poly pellets to my Amazon store under Sensory Tools + Toys! *I wanted each of their weighted items to be 3lbs each, so that was 9 cups in each of their weighted items. I still have poly pellets left over, even after using all of that in both of their weighted items.  I hope you are inspired to try this for your kids!! Let me know if you do in the comments below. ⤵️🫶🏼 #weightedstuffedanimal #diyprojectsforkids #weightedblanket #sensorycalming #proprioceptiveinput #proprioception #proprioceptivesystem
