Summer has arrived, and many youngsters are no longer in school. A break from school usually entails a break from, or at least a shift in, routines. You may be asking, "How can I satisfy his sensory demands this summer?" if you have a kid or client that requires sensory input throughout the day. If this is you, I propose integrating a couple of these low-cost, low-prep, no-fuss summer fun activities into your weekly routine to address your child's or client's sensory demands.
Water Play For many youngsters, water is both pleasurable and relaxing. Some kids can't get enough of being in the water. Water play may fulfil a child's sensory demands through swimming classes, slip-and-slides, sprinklers, an outside soap and water tub, a bike wash, or simply a plain old hose. Language concepts such as on/off, in/out/under, wet/dry, spray, pour, dump, and cold/warm can be targeted. Sidewalk Chalk If you have a box of chalk, the activities are limited only by your imagination. For youngsters with weak hand grasps and pre-writing strokes, the big thick chunks of chalk give stability when drawing. For a youngster who is overstimulated, sitting on the warm pavement and painting may be quite soothing. Play a modified game of hopscotch or 4-Square with your child or client if they need to move. You may also draw a labyrinth, play hangman, or hop through the alphabet (write letters on the sidewalk and hop from one letter to another). Following directions, taking turns, requesting, recognising the speaker, sharing, and commenting are just a few of the social language skills that might be targeted with sidewalk chalk. Popsicles Popsicles aren't simply for keeping cool on scorching summer days. In the tongue and in the hand, popsicles are incredibly chilly. They feature vivid colours, sweet or sour tastes, are sticky to the touch, and have a crunchy oral feel that melts into liquid. While eating a popsicle on a hot day, you may work on the numerous vocabulary topics like taste, texture, temperature, and colour. These three summertime hobbies are simple to include into your schedule. Consider how many different experiences you can have by eating watermelon, sharing a snow cone, blowing bubbles, tossing water balloons, playing in the sand, or going for a walk in the park. Let us know what summer activities you have planned. We'd be delighted to hear from you.
