Short Sensory Bag

The sensory bag exercises assist with touch desensitization, discrimination and body awareness. Ideal for the childe whose body is not able to process touch input without overreacting or being overstimulated. By completing this activity once a day for 30 days, this reaction will diminish. The child's nervous system will learn how to react to new touch input without causing dysregulation by more exposure.

This activity targets your child’s:

• Sense of touch and body awareness

• Crossing over the middle of the body

• Allowing the touch system to be less sensitive

• Social play with others

• Self-confidence

It helps with:

• Building self-esteem

• Increasing positive social interactions

• Improving attention

• Enhancing motor skills

• Controlling emotions

• Transitions during the game

• Becoming the boss of their own body & needs!

EVERYONE can play along, however, it is best for those with:

• Sensitivity to touch, sound, sight

• Difficulty differentiating touch

• Problems with finger and hand skills
