10 Easy & Inexpensive Sensory Activities

Sensory Activities are very important when it comes to the development of our little ones, especially my twins that are on the Autism Spectrum. But sometimes the various activities can get to be pretty expensive. So, to fix this problem we’ve compiled a list of Sensory Activities that are both fun and easy on the wallet. This way your child can benefit from these amazing learning activities and it won’t break the bank! Some of the materials used in this list can also be reused in other projects – so you’ll save double! We hope you enjoy doing these activities with your little ones and please let us know which are your favorites!

When my boys were little, this was an issue we struggled with a LOT! The twins are on the higher end of the spectrum, but one struggles with sensitivity to certain sounds, touch, and even what he eats. It’s interesting to see just how different my boys are on this spectrum. I have one twin who will not eat certain foods if it smells funny or looks funny. As they get older, they are getting better at trying new things. However, when they were little, they would eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. French Toast Sticks and Pasta were part of their daily diet.

What about your kids? What are they sensitive to? Do you find sensory activities like the one listed above help? Leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you!
