I suddenly think of the autumn table we had in class.
A wonderful scent, leaves that change color, acorns and chestnuts to count, weigh and feel. A stinging husk, rough and smooth leaves. How wonderful to de-stimulate!
Or how about a large container of corn kernels, great to hide your hands in and rummage through… All activities for outdoors and indoors, with the aim of discovering the world around us. It is completely in line with sensorimotor development. In addition to language and math development, for example, this is also an important part of our kindergarten.
After the summer holidays I would like to try the water beads .
I think we make our preschoolers at school very happy with this…! And in this way we can also stimulate sensorimotor development.
At home we had a sandbox, even though the gravel in the garden was more fun to play with. We also often took paint and clay out of the closet, but otherwise our game was less focused on the senses. In any case, we were not consciously working on this.
Since our daughter has problems with stimulus processing, we ended up with an occupational therapist. We received a lot of tips and advice there. But then you have to see what best fits your own situation to prevent overstimulation in your child.
For now, that is; Calm down after a busy day or a certain activity.
Usually a busy day causes a crying fit, due to overstimulation.
With us, the sensory products work well to de-stimulate after a busy day. Preferably with a creative twist.
Playing with sensory material helps her to relax. Fidgeting, being busy with your hands, makes it easier to shift your mind. Stops the crying so that we can talk about the situation together.
Below I would like to explain some of our products used to help our daughter de-stimulate.
Glibbi slime is just a lot of fun to do together. On Wednesday afternoon or on a rainy holiday. Our daughter can really enjoy this. Being busy with her hands and doing something together, who wouldn’t want that?
We only saw the “snowball” variant. This one is already waiting for the holidays?
Putty always goes with me in my bag when we go somewhere. The handy thing about such a small can. And Putty is wonderful to fidget with. Whether we have to wait somewhere or are at a party… She is really in her “own bubble” for a while. She makes figures with it or just kneads something. Nice to be able to de-stimulate along the way.
These sensory balls are squishy soft. Throwing a ball was very difficult at first. We practiced this a lot with a large fluffyball. This is easier to catch than a regular ball. Since it is going so well, she now also wanted to throw a small ball over. The Rubbabu balls are really suitable for this. Nice and soft and a good grip. The rubbabu balls are also nice to squeeze. You can then use them as a stress ball.
In a word: Really super cool!
Our daughter’s favorite and secretly we also like to play with her. It is easy to mold and can be placed in all kinds of shapes.
The molds they have also work really well like the lego building block mold.
After a busy day, she really likes to knead the sand with her hands and make fun constructions out of it. The sand is nice and soft and smooth, as she says herself. Being sensory especially without a goal makes the activity destimulating, which reduces the risk of overstimulation.
