5 Quick & Easy Sensory Activities
Sensory play is a vital part of your child’s growth and development. I’ve learned that the more I engage my children in activities that allow them to touch, taste, smell, see, and hear, the quicker they learn, the happier they become, and the more entertained they stay. That’s why I love to see their minds grow with these 5 Quick & Easy Sensory Activities.
I received samples and compensation on behalf of Scentsy for this post. However, all opinions are my own.
5 Quick & Easy Sensory Activities
1. Homemade bubbles. Combine soap, corn starch, and water in a bucket. Get some bubble wands, cookie cutters, different sized cups, and allow your child to blow bubbles, play in the bubbles, and make creations with the bubbles.
2. Play in the mud. Nothing makes my children happier than playing with handfuls of mud. They love to play with the texture, note the cool temperature, and get messy.
3. Explore different textured foods. There are so many fun sensory activities you can do with food: paint with yogurt, peel grapes and allow your child to squish them, play with cooked noodles, etc. So much fun to experience different textures and tastes.
4. Homemade Play-Doh. Whip up a batch of Homemade Play-Doh and allow your child to sculpt, squish, cut, and create.
5. Play with sensory inspired toys. Encourage your child to play with toys full of different textures, sounds, smells, and colors. Now I know what you’re thinking – does such a toy exist? Well, let me introduce you to my daughter’s new best friend: Scentsy Sidekicks Pippy the Pig.
Engaging in sensory play has never been easier or more fun thanks to Scentsy’s new line of plush toys. Equipped with teething rings, sliding knee socks, powder fresh scents, crinkly legs, different textures, and a variety of colors, your child will adore exploring all of there senses with Scentsy Sidekicks!
When I first introduced my daughter to Pippy the Pig, she let out a squeal of delight and immediately embraced Pippy in her arms. Because she is teething, I constantly find her sucking and biting on the teething rings. Not to mention, she gets a crack out of the crinkly noises when she moves Pippy the Pig around. Talk about the perfect birthday, shower, or just because gift. Be sure to visit Scentsy to learn more about Scentsy Sidekicks.

My kids have always loved bubble play. Not like air bubbles like bubble baths. They have always enjoyed putting the bubbles on their hands and blowing them and touching them.
These are all great sensory activities. It’s great that Scentsy has this line of plush toys. Piggy the Pig sure is cute.
First, your pictures are so cute. And a child’s development is of paramount importance.
I like the focus here on a different type of learning, but also one that needs to be considered.
I have not made Homemade Play-Doh for a while. I will have to make some this week for the kids. I like the sensory bottles you make with glitter and water.
My kids love to play in the mud when they can. I am always looking for new sensory activities to try with the kids.
