Our PlanToys musical band {aka sensory splurge}

6.6.13

I was compensated with product from PlanToys to write this post.
However, the views expressed in this post are my own, as always.

Oh, sensory stuff. We got it going on in this house.

Lydia’s seeking proprioceptive sensory input + avoiding auditory and olfactory sensory input = a recipe for interesting (and challenging with everything getting touched, jumped on, climbed on, etc. with a dose of fear mixed in with noises and smells).

We’ve gotten some good ideas from The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun. But, sometimes, you just need a sensory splurge.

Can you tell from the picture how fast those drum sticks were moving? (note the happy blur, quite hummingbird like)

That’s our new PlanToys Musical Band, a sensory playground for always moving, always climbing little monkey.

She actually sits (the pictures prove it) and swings those arms like crazy. And, the added bonus, it makes a good bit of noise. And, the noise doesn’t bother her one bit because she’s making it. See how handy this toy is? It’s a sensory therapists dream—or just a mother of a crazy little girl’s best friend…

…at least until her sensory aversive brother has had enough and the toy has to be hidden until the next day.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
