One) Sensory Activity Plan

Activity: Scented Cloud Dough

Materials:

  • 8 cups flour.
  • 1 cup baby oil or coconut oil.
  • Optional: cinnamon, lavender, orange zest.

Process:

  • Children mix the dough with their hands, explore textures, and build simple structures using scoops, cups, and moulds.

Learning Focus:

  • Fine-motor strengthening.
  • Sensory regulation.
  • Measuring and comparing.
  • Imagination and story play.

Two) Collection of Natural & Recycled Materials for Sensory Play:

Natural:

  • Pinecones.
  • Sand, water.
  • Leaves.
  • Smooth stones.
  • Flower petals.

Recycled:

  • Corks.
  • Fabric pieces.
  • Bottle caps.
  • Cardboard scraps.
  • Washed lids.
  • Metal tins.

Learning Benefit:

  • These materials support schema exploration (transporting, filling, dumping) and encourage open-ended, child-led discovery.

Three) Adaptation for a Child with Diverse Needs:

Scenario: A child with tactile sensitivity struggles with messy textures.

Adaptation:

  • Offer tools first (spoons, cups, scoops).
  • Provide gloves as an optional barrier.
  • Introduce sensory mediums gradually (e.g., dry → slightly moist → wet).
  • Offer a parallel sensory bin with dry materials.

Outcome:

  • The child can participate at their comfort level while still building sensory tolerance and confidence.
