Good afternoon A1. I hope you are all having a good day!

Sensory activities can stimulate the brain and improve sensory processing. It can improve social skills such as communication and cooperation. It can also improve coordination and motor skills.

This afternoons activity is to make a ‘Den’. Your den can become anything you want it to be and you can fill it with lots of different things. Use your imagination, the sky is the limit!

I have made my den into a ‘Rocket’ as we had been learning about rockets and space in class. I used a large fleece blanket (which is soft, furry and cosy) and I draped it over 4 dining chairs. I made a control panel for my rocket using junk from my recycling (toilet roll tubes, bottle lids and cereal boxes). I also used tin foil as its shiny and crinkly and very sensory. Stitch loves his new Rocket!! I  would love you to post some pics of your dens if you are able as I would love to see them! Have fun………………………………………………………..ENJOY!
