1. Eating with your hands:
Especially food you would usually use utensils for is a really fun sensory experience. Just make sure to wear clothes that are allowed to get dirty and protect rugs & furniture.
My favorite are melons. Just cut whatever kind of melon you prefer in half, lay out a tarp on the floor/ table and dig in with your hands.
Pasta with tomato sauce or rice are really great to make a mess too!
2. Brushing you plushies, or your pet if u have one:
You could also brush your own/ a friends/ your CG's/ your little one's hair, which can be great for bonding! <3
It's super easy and I find the feeling of brushing hair/ fur extremely relaxing and comforting.
3. Playing with shaving foam:
It has a really soft feeling, is available in all kinds of scents and is great to play with in the bathroom or wherever you're able to rinse everything with water.
I like to play with it in the garden, I just wear my swimming trunks and cover my whole body in the foam, in the summer.
4. Playing with baby powder:
I'd advise to also do this in the bathroom or over a tarp, stuff gets everywhere.
It's fun to cover your body in the soft, comforting smelling powder and it's easily washable from skin and clothes.
If it ends of in the floor/ carpet/ furniture it can be removed with a vacuum.
5. Filling a tub/ bucket with different things to dig your hands into it:
This is a pretty easy and fast little sensory play, just pick whatever interesting texture you want and throw it in.
My favorites are: crumbled up/ shredded paper, sand, ping-pong balls, soft blankets, and cotton balls
6. Making playdough:
Making playdough is really easy and a fun sensory experience.
You basically only need 5 ingredients and are free to add any color and scent you'd like! → here is a recipe ←.
Make sure to lay out cling wrap on the surface you'll be working on and wear clothes that are allowed to get stained, food coloring is hard - sometimes impossible - to remove from certain services/ fabrics.
Also be aware that the food coloring will most likely stain your skin and nails for a few days, from mixing it in. You can wear gloves to prevent that, but that also lessenes the sensory experience.
All ingredients are safe to eat, since little ones can be very curious. If you choose to add scents, make sure to use food safe ones, in case you/ your little one decides to eat it.
