Sensory Processing: Multi-Sensory Input
Now let’s put it all together and have some fun!! Obstacle courses are a great way to provide your kiddo with various types of sensory input at home! What you’ll need: something soft to “crash” on, something to walk across requiring balance, something with weight, something to crawl under, something to jump on, something to push, and some place to spin. 
Get creative and have your little one help as well! Pillows work great for crashing. Try filling a bookbag with canned goods to have your child carry through parts of the course. If you don’t have a swing nearby, help your child spin in standing a few times and then see if he can regain balance to complete the course. Can he remember each step without needing to be reminded?
