Fabulous Fall!! So many sensory ideas to explore.  Take a fall walk around your school or neighborhood and collect items for your "Fall Touch Box."  Place items such as leaves, gourds, pumpkins, seeds, acorns in a box and allow students to explore.  Discuss the sights, scents, textures, shapes, colors etc.. this is a great time to share vocabulary/scientific terms.  Remember to re-visit these items over and over so students have the repeated exposure as their sighted peers receive incidentally.

What are your favorite Fall Sensory Ideas?

  Spring is here!! How about planting a sensory garden.   Taste (try peppermint, or lemon basil plants)  smell (lavendar, lilacs, hyacinths) touch (lambs ear plants are soooo soft) see (mammoth sunflowers are always a favorite as well as butterfly bushes).  While your at it why not add a few earthworms to your garden.  Sure they are slimy, wet and wiggly to touch but your garden with thank you for the lovely composte.  All hands in and Dig in!
