Over the years we’ve shared loads of sensory play ideas for kids and now you can find them all here in one place! From play dough recipes to sensory bins and from water play to foam and pasta there’s so many sensory play ideas for kids that we’ve enjoyed I’m sure that you’ll find something that you and your kids will love too!
Most of the sensory play ideas I’ve shared here are ones that I’ve done with my kids myself but I’ve added a few round ups which contain ideas from other bloggers too – I love their borax free slime recipes and seasonal ideas like Christmas sensory bins! There’s actually more than 42 sensory play ideas here because of the round ups but there’s 42 different posts at the moment – plenty of ideas to keep the kids entertained!
I’ve separated these sensory play ideas up into every day activities and themed ones for different times of the year, so you’ll find ideas for Easter, Christmas and New Year too. Of course I’ll keep adding ideas here as we share them so do pop back to check out more fun stuff!
