I have been attempting many different sensory things for Edward. Thus far, not many of them have gone over very well.
Cotton balls in colored water – nope
painting in the bath tub – nope
colored spaghetti – Yay!
Homemade play dough – nope
bean shaker – nope
Pudding painting – nope
So.. I was a little hesitant to try this one, but I thought “why not?” Worse case scenario, I just end up with a mix of pretty rice. So off I went.
First step: color the rice.
Then.. you add a child.
And then you wait to see what happens next.
I think that I would call this a happy child.
So all in all, it was a success. Except for the fact that I just put him at the table and he got rice everywhere. I might rethink exactly where to put it next time I do it. I spent a little while cleaning up (which Edward did help me vacuum). So it was well worth the 20 minutes of fun he had.
