Parents know how craft and activities is a big part of childhood, heck everyone loves crafts and having a bunch of fun. With autistic children certain crafts and activities can not only be fun but also help with learning and with sensory problem. I put together 15 great ideas to share with you today.
I Spy Alphabet Bottle
Alphabet bottle is not only fun to make, but keep your child focused. This will also help with recognizing the letters. Have them find a letter and imitate the sounds of each of those letters.
Homemade play dough
Hide toys within the play dough which will encourage to touch and it will hopefully help with the sensitivity. This project can also be a teaching tool with the child learning math and measurements
Homemade finger paint
Again most Autistic children have a sensitivity to certain textures. Even thou this is a messy project it's totally fun to do.
Squishy Bag
If finger pants are to messy for you, then this project is perfect for you. Another great way to teach the alphabet
Sensory table
This sensory stimulation is another device at home for sensitivity, most preschools have these just for that problem.
Matching game
match up the stick pair an place them side by side to complete each shape. This will help your child with learning about shapes
Bird feeder Ornaments
Great learning tool about Nature. Good for texture sensitivity
Smelling Station
Great guessing game and helps with fear of certain smells
Counting
Autistic Children needs hands on learning, Now a days in kindergarten one of the things they focus on is counting to 100, this project will help with counting and improving math skills.
Sensory shower play for kids
I think the title says it all, do I need to say anything more? Shaving cream is wonderful for sensory, heck you can get them clean while you're at it.
