I'm thinking the t-shirt tubes would be great for a butterfly unit...imagine all those "caterpillars" emerging from eggs, then going into a chrysalis to emerge as a butterfly! thank you for your blog.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039947992900663008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-23855800096100613792009-08-01T15:09:55.733-07:002009-08-01T15:09:55.733-07:00Great post!

His speech therapist also uses beans to hide items in that relate to what sound he is working on. I was amazed at how much my son loved the putty! We are now doing that one at home. He loves Gak too (recipe is on Skiptomylou.org)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638282789723243304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-35551026202715898812009-07-13T11:00:52.394-07:002009-07-13T11:00:52.394-07:00This was a fun read, Katrina!

I'm such a better person for the priviledge to raise him!<br /><br />Unfortunately, the little darling went to his heavenly home after a brief illness four years ago. He was a few months shy of 11. I am blessed with 5 other children (two born after his death) but there is nothing like the rewards of these special blessings.<br /><br />Keep up the fabulous mothering! You'll never regret all the time you spend with him.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634026527461637652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-391203086461503262009-07-12T13:01:19.808-07:002009-07-12T13:01:19.808-07:00Great ideas!

I've done the rice bucket with her before but I know she'll love the lap snakes and the flour fish, too. I've got a recipe for homemade silly putty, too. She's definitely centered when engaged in a sensory activity. I've written a bit on my blog about the sensory activities we do and I'll definitely be linking to your post!Crafty Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886015439379154821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-4289260603541138252009-04-30T18:22:00.000-07:002009-04-30T18:22:00.000-07:00YAY!

I would use a big plastic box or bin and fill it with the dried rice or beans. Then I'd hide little surprises in it. I even put in a little vibrator (from one of those vibrating cushions) and that gave even more of a sensory experience!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701552933130180812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-37986002181076044662009-04-28T17:07:00.000-07:002009-04-28T17:07:00.000-07:00No not strange at all.

There are many people out there with sensory issues that could benefit from stuff like this. <br /><br />My little one isn't Autistic but he is brimming over with energy and can hardly sit still. Those were his hands playing with the beads and the silly putty. He was at it for quite some time in fact. He always loved doing everything right along with his brother at the Occupational therapist's.<br /><br />These are ways to burn off some of that extra energy so that they can focus.<br /><br />If I can make the path easier for some one else, I am happy.<br /><br />Thank you for all your wonderful comments. They make me happy too. ;)<br /><br />KatrinaRootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-60369617738532517322009-04-28T14:56:00.000-07:002009-04-28T14:56:00.000-07:00Thank you for such a useful post.Thank you for such a useful post.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361998290482447162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-48301074596245433962009-04-28T13:42:00.000-07:002009-04-28T13:42:00.000-07:00Wow, fantastic ideas!
