Sensory Play Saturday
On Saturdays I’ve joined a Weekly Kids Co-op. The link up is for all sorts of kids activities, but I am going through the ideas shared in the previous week to pull out my favorite sensory activities to share with you.
This week I have five sensory activities that will work for first graders and older kids too. I find that there are lots of posts out there about preschooler sensory activities, but less for older kids so I like to collect ideas that will work for elementary age kids when I find them:
- Explore the sense of hearing with this huge List of Ideas.
- Need to move? Jump! Jump! Jump to 100!
- A fantastic way to turn a rainy afternoon around with This Indoor Obstacle Course
- Find out why cross lateral movement Helps the Brain and How You Can Do It.
- Make a story come to life With a Sensory Twist

This is a great idea – I think that sensory play is so important and hadn’t realised how important until J was born (secondary teacher trained) and sharing ideas from the link up each will will provide a great way to find ideas. Thank you.
PS. I Love your badge
I am thrilled to pieces to be featured! Thank you!
So happy to see our story sensory box featured. Like Cerys, I had not heard of sensory play before becoming a mother, and I was teacher before I became a stay at home mom. I wish I had known about it before because I think it would have been useful to my elementary age students. Thank you for encouraging parents and teachers of school age children to engage their children in sensory play.
Hi! I found this post via Pinterest & I love it! I have a 1st grader that I homeschool & I forget that she needs sensory time like her younger sister! I featured this pin as one of Pinterest’s best on my blog here: http://www.pinfluence.com/2012/03/03/saturday-stumbles/
