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.
