C is super sensory seeking right now and is driving me crazy! I have been looking for simple projects I can do to help him have toys to feel his sensory needs rather than filling them by doing things like biting and licking walls.
I found these play-silks over at The Evolving Homemaker and think this will be our project of the week. Rather then spending the time to order scarves as she did however I think I'm going to use some of my old slips. If I cut them up and finish the edges my kids will never know the difference.
Please let me know if you have a favorite sensory toy that is easy to make. We'd love to try it out!

It's been a couple of years since mine were that age, but then again my middle one still likes to act like he is a cat and come up and lick us....kids. I don't have any idea's off the top of my head but if I find any I will come back and post them--one thing I can think of is a touch box-- you can take a shoe box or any container with a lid that you can keep on or glue/rubber bank one and leave a space big enough for his hand -- fill a few diff boxes with diff materials -- such a cotton balls/easter egg grass/etc for them to play and guess what they are touching -- you could also make slime or paint with shaving cream or pudding depending on how messy and dirty they like or don't like to get. You can also make a touch board with squares of diff carpets etc, sandpapers, rubber that they can compare textures with.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
