Keep sensory invitations simple and optional

Try texture sketches, a gentle sound guessing game or watching shadows. Offer a different way to participate if a sound or texture is uncomfortable. Avoid loose small fillers, unknown plants and materials that require more supervision than you can provide. These are play ideas, not therapeutic claims.

Before starting, check the materials and adult-help notes in the guide. Begin with a small version and keep a familiar alternative available. If the idea does not fit the day, simplify the task or choose a different pace; a longer list is not always the answer.
