Sensory Summer: A Series of Summer Sensory Activities for Kids, Toddlers and Babies | Mommy Evolution

Why host a series of sensory activities you can do all summer? Because summer is when we usually take a break.

But the fact is, kids never take a break! And neither should their learning.

Whether you use this series to help build your child’s sensory system or to help fulfill your child’s sensory diet due to Sensory Processing Disorder or Autism, you’ll find fun and easy sensory activities you can easily do at home!

Follow The Sensory Spectrum’s board Sensory Activities / Crafts on Pinterest.

This post is part of a new sensory series hosted by Mommy Evolution in partnership with The Sensory Spectrum.

After this summer sensory series is complete, watch for more creative sensory series from fabulous bloggers on Mommy Evolution.
