Hello Luther Burbank students, We hope you and your families are safe and healthy. As you continue to stay home we encourage you to build and use some of these DIY sensory items listed below. These are some great ways to build something with our families and also be able to use it in the future to enhance our senses. Let us know which one of these DIY sensory items you created! Sensory bin: Sensory bins, or any container filled with items that stimulate our senses and offer a relaxing activity can be made by filling a container with items like dry beans, rice, pasta, and cotton balls, for example. You can add tools like measuring cups, sifters, and shovels! Slime: There are many ways to make “slime” (you know that gooey thing kids like to play with). One easy recipe is to put an egg white into a bowl, stir it, and mix it with a little dish soap, then refrigerate it for 10 hours.

You can also use materials like beads, glitter, and marbles-then add water, a few glycerin drops, and don’t forget to put super glue on the rim to seal the cap on. Once you have created your sensory bottle, focus on the movement inside. What's in the bag?:
One fun game which is easy to set up in a matter of minutes is “What’s in the bag?”. Ask your parents to get a few brown paper bags and put some random objects inside them. The objects can be anything: cotton balls, toys, cereal, paperclips, and so on. Try to pick some “easy” objects and some “hard ones”. Once the objects are inside the bag, try to guess what is inside without looking. You can start by shaking the bag, squishing it, and lifting it. Then you can stick your hand inside and feel for the objects. You parents can give you as many guesses as you want!
