Kids that spend a lot of time in NICU or the hospital tend to have sensory issues.
CDHer's are no exclusion.
In fact many survivor have sensory issues.
Parents find that these issues are hard to overcome.
Our survivor Liam is no exception.
Liam still has sensory issues at 3 years 4 months.
We've worked very hard with him to work through these issues,
and hard work is the only reason he's doing as well as he is.
For the majority of his Liam's life,
he hated textures.
If it wasn't super soft he refused to hold it.
He hated the feel of playdoh,
sand,
uncooked rice and noodles.
We worked past this by playing with these things over and over again.
We still have a lot of work to do.
Sensory bins are awesome.
I love how there is so much in such a small area.
It's meant to stretch their ability to be handle the stimulation with each passing use.
With Christmas coming up I thought to do a Christmas themed sensory bin.
In my Google search I found many I like.
This winter themed sensory bin is so simple and cheap.
Everything in it came from the Dollar store and added up to $5!!
I adore it. I found this at Snails and Puppy Dog Tails Blog.
She has several amazing sensory bins that I am looking forward to making for Liam.
This snowy sensory bin looks like so much fun!
We found this gem at Blog Me Mom
I feel like this is a two for one deal.
Not only so the kids get the sensory aspect out of filling the ornaments,
but when they are done,
you get some great ornaments for your tree.
I love that they used beads as well as sand to fill these up.
It gives me a great idea to use other materials as well.
I found this AMAZING idea over at Little Bins For Little Hands.
Love this sensory bin.
It has some of Liam's favorite things.
Found at Four Little Piglets
We are already so excited for Christmas!
Can't wait till closer to Christmas to do some crafts with the kids.
