Winter fun doesn’t have to be overwhelming! ❄️
Here are sensory-friendly winter activities that keep kids engaged, grounded, and smiling through the season.
1️⃣ Soft Winter Sensory Bin
Cotton balls, pom-poms, or soft fabric pieces create a soothing tactile experience without overwhelming textures.
2️⃣ Ice Painting for Cold Tolerance
Painting with ice cubes offers a cool, calming sensation while supporting fine motor skills through play.
3️⃣ Cozy Comfort Corner
A small space with blankets, pillows, or a weighted lap pad can help kids regulate their bodies and emotions when winter days get busy.
4️⃣ Indoor “Snowball” Movement Game
Using soft socks or plush balls makes for a safe, no-noise tossing game that provides fun proprioceptive input.
5️⃣ Simple Winter Scavenger Hunt
Gentle items like something soft, warm, or sparkly help kids explore and engage without sensory overload.
These activities are easy to set up, calming, and supportive of the sensory needs many children experience this season. 💚
