Splish Splash
This fun multi-sensory activity for all ages lets
children explore and learn.
What you need:
• Pots or buckets
• A water tray
• A waterproof mat
• Sponges, water toys (optional) or natural resources
• Bubbles and food colouring (optional)
What to do:
1. Outdoors – Lay out some pots or buckets
filled with water and an array of toys,
sponges, and other things that can float.
2. Indoors – If you’re taking it indoors,
you’re better to start with a small water
tray to place the toys in and a waterproof
mat to protect the floor.
3. For younger children and babies
you’ll need to supervise them more closely,
but it is the perfect activity for them
to explore different textures.
4. Your babies will love it if you blow bubbles
and let them float on the water or let them splash
about, grab toys and explore this new
environment.
5. For older children, you can set them
some water play challenges. Get them to
craft floating boats, explore floating and
sinking, and get them to try and build a
dam.
Whack the Numbers!
Roll a dice and let the children find the right number on the sticky note with a fly swatter. You could also do the this game with letters or words.
.
What you need:
• Dice
• Fly swatter or similar object
• Small sticky notes
What to do:
1. Prepare some sticky notes with different
numbers on and place them in front of your wee one.
2. Give your wee one a fly swatter and roll the
dice.
3. The aim of the game is for the little ones
to identify the number on the dice and
match it with the right number before
smacking the correct answer with the fly
swatter.
Magic Markers
This is a fun and exciting activity for your wee ones to try.
You will need kitchen roll, water, a plate or shallow dish and washable markers ( any water soluble marker works).
Fold a paper towel in half like a card.
Create your own design on the front of the paper towel, then inside add more details and colours.
Drop the paper towel into the water and watch the colours spread and designs appear!

Stimulating Sensory Baskets
This activity is perfect for your under 2s in order to
help them understand the world around them but older children love to explore them too.
What you need:
• A basket
• Household items
• Natural items
• Materials and clothing
• Craft items
What to do:
1. The list for what to include in your
sensory baskets really is endless! Prepare
the basket with interesting, differently
shaped items for your wee ones to explore.
2. For the youngest, you’re best to start
off with around five items so as not to
overload them, but there really is no limit
as your children get older.
3. The items will help your youngest to
explore different materials and to start to
understand the world around them.
