A few helpful activities inside:

Flying Saucer Ride

Activity Type: Mindfulness

Children love to go on an adventure. This activity takes the child on an adventure meditation into their inner awareness. Often children who are sensory over-responsive need assistance to examine who they are and how they feel. Remember that it’s easier to relax in a quiet space with dimmed lighting. This activity may be especially helpful before stressful events.

Wristband Chewy

Activity Type: Gustatory, Oral motor, Proprioception

Under-responsive children often seek out oral input. They need more input in their mouths and may overstuff their mouths when eating. They may also chew on nonfood items like their clothes (for example, shirt collars or sleeves), which can be distressing to parents. This activity helps you provide your child with a piece of clothing that’s okay to chew on. It’s also easy to wash.

Chair Push-ups

Activity Type: Heavy work, Proprioception, Upper-body strength

Isometric exercises are contractions of muscles where the body doesn’t noticeably move or change position. Chair push-ups help strengthen the body without the need to move around. This is an especially good activity in spaces that don’t allow for a lot of movement, such as in a classroom where the child is wiggly and therefore unable to concentrate.
