My son's Autism BI and I have decided to do theme week. This week is the first, it's all about rain! Yesterday we made pictures with cupcake liners as umbrellas, Xander thought to put a toothpick under it for the handle.
Today we made rain sticks. I emptied some water bottles the night before. This morning we added toothpicks and Amaranth which makes the perfect sound. I was thinking a can of Pringles and throwing in some skewers would be awesome too.
See this Pinterest post, this is where I got the idea from!
These themes are already paying off! If you happen to be a parent to an Autistic child you know that having the attention on them is undesirable. This is working so well to focus on something else and he gets so excited about our crafts, science experiments and show and tell now. We do these things together so there's less stress on him. Not to mention having a rain stick is so awesome. He took it to school to show his friends.
This is a great sensory project. Share we us your sensory ideas!
