Sensory treasure basket

F

Foil blanket, mirror, coloured scarf, rattle, feathers, the little bracelets with bells, another good idea but not really for a basket is lightly tie balloons to her ankles/hands and lie her on her back so as she’s moving around kicking her feet she can watch the balloons dancing

Soft sponge, the microfibre mop heads. At that age babies can’t see colour they are only able to see things in black and white so one thing my little girl loves was the black and white cards I ordered them from Amazon but they all had different patterns and were really good to hold above her head and slowly move getting her to hold focus/follow something encouraging her to move her head form side to side or even tummy time encouraging her to lift her head to see the picture

@Lucy completely forgot mirror! Amazing thank you so much!

@Lucy that’s great, thank you! I do already have the black and white cards which I mainly use during tummy time

Something like a glitter wand or even a sand timer so you can put it infront of her and watch the sand slowly flow down or the glitter moving around inside when it’s been shaken

You can make your own sensory bottles also I bought a pack of 6 mini water bottles and left 3 w liquid in it, dyed the water added some googly eyes and pom-poms, and the other 3 I put dried beans and rice and pasta etc for sound. He loved them. One one empty. Babies LOVE empty plastic water bottles for some reason, the crunch it makes 😂 and he chewed on the lid (which was screwed on tight)

@Kellie I actually worked in a nursery pre-pregnancy and used to make sensory bottles with the children, didn’t even think of that! You can buy bottles specifically for sensory bottles on a website called Gompels, they have a medicine type lid so the children can’t unscrew it - genius!
