Autumn is here, and if you’re looking for ways to incorporate the colors and images of the season into activities with your little ones that will actually keep them engaged, sensory activities are the way to go! Sensory activities engage your children’s senses, help develop their fine motor skills, and can provide additional learning opportunities. In this blog, we’ll go over a few autumn-themed sensory activities that your preschooler will love!

Apple Cloud Dough

Apple cloud dough is a great option if you have little ones who want to get involved in sensory play, who are still exploring by putting things in their mouth. This apple dough is taste-safe and is great for developing fine-motor skills!

Apple Foam Bath

A foam bath is a fun sensory activity to do with some leftover apples! This activity is fun for your little ones and helps with fine-motor skill development and problem-solving skills.

Fall Leaves Sensory Bottle

If you just finished drinking from a disposable water bottle, this is the perfect sensory activity for your child! You can utilize water, autumnal elements you’d like for this activity. If you glue the cap to the bottle, then it’s a great activity that definitely won’t result in a mess.
