A Sensory Room
These are a few ideas that you can use to create a Sensory room..
SMELL Plants ~ Lavendar, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Artemesia - Crush a leaf gently to release the smell of these plants - NB: They are NOT edible. Air Fresheners can be used - but keep them out of the childrens reach. Bake bread and biscuits and .. use all the other senses to enjoy them !!:D TASTE As above with food ... TOUCH Have carpet squares on the floor that have different textures. A Plasma ball is great Touch as well as Sight! Wood, Stones, Leaves, Sand, Soil in a shallow tray are great for exploring within the hand. Water fountain ornaments are wonderful for Touch, Sight and Hearing. SIGHT Fairy lights and small lamps. Lamps/lights that have on & Off switches. Torches and shadow puppets. Optical fibre lights ~ There is a huge selection of optical lighting that changes colours over a period of time. Colours - bright bold and Calm Pastels Warm colours & Cold Colours Curtains & Blinds that allow you to demonstate light and dark. HEARING Animal sound toys Cassettes & tapes / CDs Musical Instuments - especially 'Reindeer bells' A hammer and different types of everyday objects that can create differnt tones. Please keep on adding ... :cheerful: |
Smell - crushed leaves from mint, lemon geranium and curry plant. :yummy:
Touch - ice cubes (leave to start to melt 1st so no freezer burn!!) :bubble: |
