Make one of these DIY sensory walls or sensory boards for your child's sensory room! They're perfect for the kids who love to fidget, stim, and touch everything in sight.
Can you walk through a fabric store without running your hands along every fabric you pass?
The smooth, cool, and creamy silks.
The fluffy, cozy fleece.
The luxurious plush minky with its bumps.
Gah...I mean how can you not touch all the fabric.
My son is the same way whether he's in a fabric store or not. He's constantly fidgeting with something in his hands and has to be touching something. He just loves to touch everything he can.
Tactile sensory seeker much, right?
Well, many kids (okay, adults too - like me in the fabric store) love to touch and feel things. Like many stims, it's comforting and calming. Why not give your child a safe place to touch and feel all the things? A place for them to happily stim away!
These DIY sensory walls and sensory board ideas are the perfect solution/tool/whatever-you-want-to-call-it for tactile sensory seekers. Some of these creative ideas even offer additional sensory input via the visual and auditory systems.
