Tissue box activity - Wednesday fun
Here is an easy sensory activity that was well tested with TAP kids. Items needed empty tissue box and small items. Very easy activity, put small items in the box for your child and let them discover the different items, by putting your hand inside without looking. If you make them familiar they can tell you what it is, they can describe it. For non verbal kids it is fun to find something and you can take turns with your kids or get them to put things for you to discover as well. Have fun!

Are socks puppets! Any old socks will do. Just take a sock and make some eyes if you don't have googly eyes, nose of your choice, glue and here they are. Now the play can begin, they can talk with each other and other persons, play have theater! Make stage curtains from two chairs joined by a broom horizontally and throw a blanket over them. Enjoy!
TAP activities on Wednesday
Hello TAP Friends, we have two activities for kids today.
One is a rice box. Just uncooked rice (beans can be added too or anything that is this sand type texture. It works very nicely like a small sensory activity. Things can be put inside to discover (I put some chalks and small toys). TAP kids (big and small) love this rice box and will occupy themselves for a while, also items can be take out including rice and arranged in any nice way... like different faces made from rice and beans.
Please look below
