Sensory Activities: 69 Sensory Activities For kids - Paperback

by Madeleine Gipson (Author)

Does your child or student have sensory integration problems?

69 Sensory Activities are user-friendly sensory activity tasks designed by a sensory integration practice therapist and early childhood and school educator. They are ideal for working with your child at home, in the backyard, or at preschool/school. They offer a variety of sensory activities that will comprehensively support a child's sensory development and therapy. Each card is designed in a fun and easy-to-read way to help children understand, imagine, and master the activity. The flashcards have been selected so that the child can stimulate each of the senses: hearing, smell, sight, touch, as well as proprioception and vestibular, through exercises.

First 10 tasks are relaxation activities. They are essential as a closing activity but above all, they are beloved by children.

Moreover, each activity contains brief instructions for the parent, grandmother/grandfather, teacher, therapist (etc.) on how to perform the task if some doubts or concerns arise.

Do I need those book?
Yes! If you have a child in the family who needs sensory development support, but you lack ideas for interactive games. Your child goes to SI therapy, however, if you want to practice with them at home then this Sensory Tasks will be perfect for you.
You don't have to, and you shouldn't be your child's therapist. Nevertheless, you are the one who spends most of the time with them so why don't you use it in a way that will benefit their sensory development: )

Sensory games or sensory diet can never be boring and "fossilized." There is no point in reproducible and mechanical exercises just to be done with them. Especially when you and your child are tired after a long day at work or school. No wonder then that the last thing you both want to do at that time are SI therapy exercises.

Our brain learns when we surprise it, not when it does meaningless exercises. To satisfy your child's curiosity and meet their unlimited learning capabilities help them with self-regulation, focus, and concentration by using our Flashcards. Sensory exercises will be different and surprising every time you and your child use them. It is up to you which cards you draw and how to arrange them. Sensory adventure waits for your child every day. Remember - baby steps. Each day, consistently draw 3 or 4 activities (if you don't have time use so many practice with at least one). You can exercise with your child or give them some space and get few minutes for yourself;) PERSISTENT WORK AT HOME IS A KEY TO SUCCESS! Of course, work in therapy is essential, but regular exercises with the child at home bring spectacular results.

69 Sensory Tasks are more than 69 exercises to play and practice with your child.
