A Cool Site I Found

One of the tasks that I enjoy is finding new things to do with my son to help him with his SPD but I also enjoy finding things that might work for other people with kids who struggle with special needs.
I came across this site called, Therapy Fun Zone, and thought of my friend who has a son with a heart condition and one with autism. (Here is her blog) This site has a lot of ideas that I think I will do not necessarily for my kids but just for the fun of doing it because they're quick and simple and my son can help me put them together for my Etsy shop I'm hoping to start up in the next month or two and he can get paid for it.

Craft Books

One thing I am noticing more and more about my SPD child is how tactile he seems to be. We tried making some snot a while back and it didn't turn out all that well (the recipe not my son's response). However, he loves putting his hands into the cold mixture as we have it into the fridge. This got me wondering and looking online about different books on how to make various concoctions with different feels, some with a useful purpose and others without.

Here are some books we got from the library in which I'll be looking at different recipes and maybe posting some on here. I know there are more but those will be posted at a later date.
  • Mudworks by MaryAnn F. Kohl
  • Recipes for Art and Craft Materials by Helen Roney Sattler
(Some other ideas for 'craft materials' is looking into science books.)
