Summer is the perfect time to take therapy outside! Outdoor play is filled with natural sensory experiences that support your child’s development while keeping them active and engaged.
Here are some therapist-approved summer activities:
- Water Play: Splashing in kiddie pools or running through sprinklers builds sensory regulation and motor coordination.
- Sidewalk Chalk: Drawing on pavement strengthens hands and encourages creativity.
- Sandbox Digging: Great for tactile input and fine motor work.
- Scavenger Hunts: Build attention and visual processing with themed searches.
- Nature Walks: Collect leaves, rocks, or flowers to spark curiosity and fine motor skills.
Always supervise play and adjust based on your child’s sensory needs. Want help creating a personalized activity list? Ask our team!
