Alot of children on the spectrum have sensory issues. Play Dough is one of the best (and cheapest) sensory toys available. Here is one recipe for a simple recipe, that requires no cooking but will provide hours of sensory fun.
Uncooked Play Dough
2 cups of plain flour
4 tablespoons of 'cream of tartar'
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 cup of salt
2 cups of boiling water
food colouring
4 tablespoons of 'cream of tartar'
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 cup of salt
2 cups of boiling water
food colouring
*Just pop it all in a mixing bowl and mix!
*It looks as though it is not going to mix well at first but hang in there and throw it onto the bench to knead, and it will come together really nicely.*
For even more sensory fun you can put different things into the mixture such as glitter, sequins or sand. Just be careful you don't put things in like rice as they tend to go mouldy - we find glitter is really good.
Or maybe you could add peppermint oil for a great smell and even longer lasting playdough...... The possibilities are endless
