Kinetic Sand
Dinosaurs (or another interesting toy, cars, trains, dolls)
Okay, I will be honest. Theo did not love this as much as I was expecting. It happens! But I did take a moment and think about his interests and added some of his favorite dinosaurs and when I did.
BOOM, it was a win. He was hooked. Adding and removing can be done as much as needed. Interests can change quickly sometimes. Some children might be fine with just the sand.
Play around an see what works best for you kiddo! If you see them lose interest that is your time to switch out or help get them involved (play with them, show them what they can do with it).
This is great for children to explore different ways of using objects to meet their developmental needs way past the sensory.
