Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 2)

March 26, 2024 By Y3K

Sensory friendly Easter eggs shouldn’t be filled with candy or other foods. The reason is many children with sensory processing issues have difficulty with food due to certain textures and flavors. This often causes food aversions (a strong dislike for particular foods). Each child has their own unique issue with certain textures and flavors so there is no such thing as a universal food that they can all enjoy.

A way of including all children would be to fill the sensory friendly Easter eggs with various toys like cars, dinosaurs, animals, and stickers. Using toys ensures that the kids would leave with the toys to play with, rather than candy or food that may be left behind uneaten. If you try a sensory friendly Easter egg hunt this year, please let us know how it went. Also let us know if you have any other suggestions to make it an even more successful event.

Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 1)

March 19, 2024 By Y3K

No need to have children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing issues be excluded from Easter egg hunts.  Sensory friendly Easter egg hunts are a great activity to include all children. However in the past, many special needs friends were excluded. Now Easter egg hunts can be made for kids with sensory issues.

There are several ways you can create an Easter egg hunt that is sensory friendly. Loud music should not be played. The more open space to move around, the better. You may want to limit the number of children participating at once so it does not end up being too crowded. Placing the eggs in easy to find spaces can be helpful too.

What should you put in the plastic eggs so neurodivergent children with sensory processing issues can all enjoy? Check back here next time for the creative and surprising answer!
