DIY Sensory Boxes and Playrooms

You've probably seen a sensory table at your child's preschool. The kids love them and they are great for engaging all of their senses and using their imagination. If you have a little neat freak in you, just make sure you set the boundaries ahead of time and either have them work in a large plastic container, outside or a designated sensory table. 

Suggested Materials for your sensory table (be sure to make sure materials are age appropriate so they do not choke or eat something they're not supposed to!)

rice, oats, dried pasta, ribbon flowers, buttons, dried beans or lentils, water, sand (try the colored kind at art supply stores), play dough and seasonal items like fake snow, dried flowers or leaves, rocks, etc.
