My oldest daughter probably has a sensory processing disorder. Although her OT can’t tell me that, and she hasn’t really had anyone else assess her for things like that. All the things we do in OT though is geared towards a child with SPD. She has always been a sensory seeker, she loves hanging upside down. When she was a baby/toddler she would let you swing her at the park for what seemed like hours.

She also has a lot of the same challenges other SPD kids have as far as sensory overload and being unable to take certain sensory experiences. Her calm down spot really helps with this when she is at home. Out and about is a harder thing to deal with and often ends up with her just being removed from wherever she is overstimulated and just going home.

My toddler is also in a stage where she is curious about new sensory experiences. She wants to explore everything over and over again. Often times she explores things she is not supposed to 😂. This is an activity that fits both of my girls perfectly. Even if my youngest can’t help to make it, she can certainly enjoy it.

Materials you will need:

• • Elmer’s Magic Liquid
  • Elmer’s gold glitter glue 5 oz glue
  • artificial fall leaves
  • fall colored sequins

Tools you will need:

• • • small mason jar or bag
    • mixing cup
    • tongue depressor

Directions:

• • 1. Follow directions on your magic solution.
    2. Fold in your different fall items, to your seekers desired amount.
    3. Put it in a mason jar or sealed bag to store for days!
    4. Wash seeker’s hands before playing so that the slime stays clear.

You can make a game out of it, asking for a certain object to be pointed out or a certain color. Or you can just let your little sensory seeker do what her heart desires. Either way, it will be a great time for all. If you want less mess to make sure to do this at the kitchen table covered with a tablecloth or newspaper.
