If you’re looking for hands-on sensory friendly Easter ideas for autism, here are some of the best including sensory bins and slime.

Hands-On Easter Sensory Ideas for Autism

If you are trying to meet your child’s tactile needs, try a hands-on sensory idea like one of these Easter Slime Recipes or this Easter egg sensory play activity. Another fun idea to try is Easter basket sensory soup or Easter egg shaving cream sensory play or making a batch of Easter slime for sensory play with plastic eggs.

For hands-on input, it’s really hard to beat a sensory bin — we especially love adapting them for my daughter’s PICA issues:


We especially love these ideas:


Visual and Auditory Easter Sensory Ideas

When it comes to incorporating visual and auditory sensory play, you can’t go wrong with these Easter Egg sound shakers or with this Easter Sensory bottle. Fizzy Easter Eggs are a simple and low-mess sensory activity and you can involve your kids with egg decorating with this Marbled Easter Eggs Sensory activity.

All of these sensory friendly Easter ideas can easily be adapted for a classroom, Sunday school, or daycare setting. Simply adjust the amount of supplies needed or create a fun Easter weekend or Easter break themed camp.

How to Face the Uncertain Future as a Special Needs Parent

How to Face the Uncertain Future as a Special Needs Parent

There are many things in life that I can face with confidence. In fact, I don’t have many overwhelming fears or phobias. Maybe the same as a few others. I’m not a big fan of heights, open spaces, or large crowds. Other things I don’t mind quite so much. Slugs will send me running in the opposite direction. But there is one thing that scares me more than slugs, heights, large crowds, and open spaces combined. It’s the uncertainty of my autistic daughter’s future. It’s enough to keep me up at night. And it’s one of the few things in life that I cannot predict or control. But now, with thanks to Bloomwell for sponsoring this conversation, I can at least have some peace of…

Autism Speaks (and Jenny McCarthy) Do Not Speak for Me and My Family

Autism speaks is a bit of a controversy in the autism community. But why is that? And why, are we as parents, not as aware of this? Surely an organization such as autism speaks would act in the best interest of those on the autism spectrum, right? That is what I had believed as well but, I cannot and will not support them. This is why I don’t support autism speaks and I would encourage you to look deeper. Find out the truth and then make a decision.  Autism Speaks Doesn’t Speak for Me April, in the United States, marks the beginning of Autism Awareness month. World Autism Day is April 2nd. However, I would kindly ask you to not include me or my daughter. Rather…

10 Tips for Playdates with ASD Kids

10 Tips for Playdates with ASD Kids

When my autistic daughter was younger, playdates weren’t really something that we did. Part of this, I admit, is because I found the task to be daunting. Not only for her, but also for me. There was definitely a time in my life when I didn’t want to leave the house or deal with people at all. Now, I’m somewhat home bound by choice but nothing like I used to be. Sometimes I think she may have benefited from play dates or going to birthday parties with NT (neurotypical) peers. Other times, I’m not sure. She’s never really shown interest in children her age and seeks out adults instead of peers when she wants to play. That’s just how she’s always been. But that’s not…

Coping Skills for Parents of Special Needs Kids

Coping Skills for Parents of Special Needs Kids

Parental stress is a very real thing. To help against it, we need to develop coping skills like the ones suggested in this post. From one parent to another, here are essential coping skills for parents of special needs kids. I’ve been on the journey of special needs parenting since my son was an infant. He was born three months premature and with that early birth came a few health complications. A few years later, my daughter would be diagnosed with autism as a toddler. I won’t lie and say that this has always been easy. I’m not perfect and over time, I’ve had to develop coping skills. So today I’m talking about coping as a special needs parent. This is something that I’ve touched on…
