All you need is the liquid from one can of chickpeas and 1/4 cup cream of tartar, blend until it is no longer a liquid but nice and fluffy.

Sensory bins are versatile tools that enhance children’s development across several domains. By engaging with materials in a sensory bin, children can improve their fine motor skills, expand their vocabulary, and boost their problem-solving abilities. These activities also foster creativity and help in both emotional and sensory regulation. Moreover, sensory bin play can enhance children’s focus, encourage social skills through cooperative play, and promote independence by allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. #occupationaltherapy #momsoftiktok #sahm #babiesoftiktok #babydevelopment #infantdevelopment #babyactivities #pediatrictherapy #boymom #firsttimemom #sensory #sensoryactivities

Vestibular input refers to sensory information related to balance, spatial orientation, and movement that is detected by the vestibular system in the inner ear. This system helps us maintain equilibrium, posture, and coordinate movements. Vestibular input is crucial for various activities, including walking, running, and even sitting upright. The Vestibular system also regulates the autonomic nervous system meaning it also influences emotional regulation. After giving input look at their eyes, if they are moving back and forth horizontally then too much input was given and dial it back a little! #occupationaltherapy #momsoftiktok #babiesoftiktok #sahm #babyboy ##sensory #sensoryactivities #babyactivities #babydevelopment #infantdevelopment #firsttimemom #pediatrictherapy #vestibular
