Under the Sea Calm Down Box! Checkout our Reels tab for a video version 🎥 This is a great calming sensory activity for kids that you can customize with different bins, colors, and accessories. These would also make a fun gift for your adult friends too! 😉
~SUPPLIES~
🌊 Sand or sensory base of choice
🌊A bin or tray
🌊Accessories, such as sea animals! We used the Under the Sea Ocean Counters from Learning Resources. You can also add shells, rocks, driftwood, or other items of your choosing.
🌊Something to use as a rake. A wooden fork would also work!
~Next Steps~
1. Pick out your containers.
2. Add sand.
3. Fill your containers, but don’t fill them too much. You want to make designs in your sand with a rake and not have any sand spill out.
4. Choose your calm down box accessories. This is the fun part!
5. Give your kids a chance to try out the different rakes and play around with drawing designs in their sand.
This activity can help kiddos self-regulate, regain a normal heart rate,...
