Baby sensory board {DIY}

April 29, 2013

A baby sensory board is a fun, hands-on activity to watch your baby learn and explore the sense of touch and tactile differences!

DIY Baby Sensory Board - Baby Play - Wildflower Ramblings

I found a some hard and soft items and hot-glued them to some cardboard — I had to find white cardboard because the brown just wasn’t as pretty.  I tried to stick with “girly” too because May doesn’t have enough pink and girly things in the house : ).

Ensure that you are with your baby at all times as some of these items are choke hazards, and though they are glued on, babies can work miracles!

I assembled my supplies.

And got to gluing!

And here she is with her boards!  She is very serious!

DSC03207

She loves them, but again, I am always with her while she is playing, when they are not, they are set out of her reach!

    I am a speech and language therapist and we often use this with children and adults with/without sensory difficulties. It’s such a nice thing that you have done here introducing the sensory board to you’re child. Well done. :)

    This is a wonderful idea, Amy! I’ve never thought of doing anything like this before. Might give it a go sometime when Edward is a little older and can sit up.
