Summer Sensory Activities

Summer is the best time to explore your senses. Days are longer, warmer, and filled with unique sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and textures for you to discover.

And that’s why our Sensory Experts have put together an exciting Summer Sensory Activity Booklet to keep you active, creative and your senses stimulated all summer long!

Our activity booklet is perfect for anyone with a sensory processing disorder, learning disability, autism, or a free afternoon to explore their senses.
