Christmas Sensory Bin Ideas

Liam still has sensory issues at 3 years 4 months.
We've worked very hard with him to work through these issues,
and hard work is the only reason he's doing as well as he is.
For the majority of his Liam's life,
he hated textures.
If it wasn't super soft he refused to hold it.
He hated the feel of playdoh,
sand,
uncooked rice and noodles.
We worked past this by playing with these things over and over again.
We still have a lot of work to do.
Sensory bins are awesome.
I love how there is so much in such a small area.
It's meant to stretch their ability to be handle the stimulation with each passing use.
With Christmas coming up I thought to do a Christmas themed sensory bin.
In my Google search I found many I like.

This winter themed sensory bin is so simple and cheap.
Everything in it came from the Dollar store and added up to $5!!
I adore it. I found this at Snails and Puppy Dog Tails Blog.
She has several amazing sensory bins that I am looking forward to making for Liam.

This snowy sensory bin looks like so much fun!
We found this gem at Blog Me Mom

I feel like this is a two for one deal.
Not only so the kids get the sensory aspect out of filling the ornaments,
but when they are done,
you get some great ornaments for your tree.
I love that they used beads as well as sand to fill these up.
It gives me a great idea to use other materials as well.
I found this AMAZING idea over at Little Bins For Little Hands.

Love this sensory bin.
It has some of Liam's favorite things.

We are already so excited for Christmas!
Can't wait till closer to Christmas to do some crafts with the kids.

Sensory Fun In The Sun

We had a decent day today so liam got a chance to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and grass. We also decided to work on some of his sensory issues so he got to play with dry uncooked rice. I poured a small bag of rice into a small basin then let him just feel it. At first he was aprihensive. But quickly took a liking to how it felt to let it run through his fingers and fall back down. The we introduced a small cup and worked on getting him to put the rice into the cup. He did wonderful. And both kids had a blast. In. Few days I'm sure to see rue plants sprout up into front yard lol
