We have continued with providing Lou with sensory activities. We've noticed an improvement in her behaviour when absorbed in these activities.
Soapy Sand...
I used washing up liquid with sand to make it foamy, the texture was very soft. Lou preferred to tip the mixture out and stamped on it, as again, she wanted to feel the texture using her feet!
She enjoyed stamping and watching it fly across splashing onto the wall.

Sensory bottles...
I have used these sort of bottles when working with babies. I've also read that they are good for using as 'calm down' bottles. Lou was fascinated with the one which had water, food colouring and glitter in she shook it and carefully watched all the glitter moving around and then carried it around to other activities. It even sat next to her on the sofa!
