fun sensory things to do

"Art...is an attempt to bring order out of chaos." ~ Stephen Sondhein

We have been working with the Cheerios cookbook that our sensory therapist gave us and there are a lot of fun things in it to be done that can equate to some sensory fun times.

Tonight we made these cute little cheerio peanut butter sprinkle balls. This works some sensory in because boy had to form the balls, which are uber sticky and ick, and then roll them in sprinkles...this is after he helped measure and pour all of the ingredients.

His sensory therapist suggests having him help make different food and teach him that when we cook, we must taste what we make...try to force him to start wanting to try a variety of food, broaden his tastes.

Here is the recipe for cheerio peanut butter sprinkle balls.

1/3c of sugar
1/2c of light corn syrup
1/2c peanut butter
3c cheerios
sprinkles

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Mix the sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, stir until near boiling.
Add peanut butter and stir until thoroughly combined.
Stir in cheerios, mix until well coated.
Form into little balls, roll in the sprinkles and set aside for about a 1/2 hour until they have hardened.

Voila! Enjoy!
