Sensory play doesn’t need to be complicated. Going for a walk outside and feeling the grass with little hands and bare feet, stopping to smell the flowers, crunching up those Fall leaves, listening to the birds as they fly south, all of these things are awesome sensory activities for preschoolers to enjoy in Fall!
In addition to everyday sensory experiences, we like to have some sensory bins on hand as well. These sensory bins are perfect for preschoolers to enjoy this Fall, and also perfect to help children with calming down, quieting down, and transitioning, too.
