I’ve been looking for engaging activities to incorporate into my sessions with kids, especially those with sensory processing issues. Recently, I tried a scavenger hunt around our therapy space, using tactile items like textured balls and fabrics, which really got the kids moving and interacting. I’m curious if anyone has other creative ideas or resources for making sessions more interactive and fun?
I love the scavenger hunt idea! I’ve had success with a sensory obstacle course that includes different texture stations — like sandpaper, bubble wrap, and soft fabrics — to keep their interest while working on gross motor skills. Have you tried incorporating any structured movement breaks?
You could try a sensory treasure box with items from nature, like smooth stones and pinecones. The kids often love sorting and describing the textures! @saraK_05, mixing in some art activities afterward could enhance creativity.
