Happy Campers Sensory Summer Activities was created by Pediatric Occupational Therapists.
As pediatric OT’s, we know sensory processing and carefully choose activities that would target various aspects of your child’s sensory processing skills to help sensory seekers get their needs met, to help decrease sensory sensitivities (including picky eating), and even improve awareness for kids that have low registration!
While these activities are particularly helpful for any kid with sensory needs, they’re beneficial for ANY child because sensory processing is a foundational building block of all child development.
We’re excited for you to put them into use!
With Love,
The Your Kid’s Table OT’s
