DIY Sensory Toys and Sensory Play Activities | Fathering Autism Vlogs

- DIY sensory toys and sensory play activities for some awesome sensory play you can do at home using nothing more than water beads aka Orbeez and water balloons. Sensory toys are expensive and the demand for more sensory input from our sensory seekers requires a little ingenuity. My daughter with autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing disorder requires sensory input all day long so she assists me in testing these DIY sensory toys. I hope you enjoy another Fathering Autism DIY video. If you have great ideas for DIY sensory toys and DIY sensory play let me know in the comments below. See you next time!

To the people that disliked this u shouldn’t watch videos like this the man is helping people with autism with sensory toys disliking could make his daughter sad SHAME ON YOU
Can't believe how much she looks like she changed in a yr....soo sweet any age
Seeing this video for the first time while looking for arts and craft ideas for my special needs client at work and WOW!!! Abby has matured so much in 5 years! It’s so cute seeing Abby as a little babe! 🥰
Incase you haven't heard already...you are an awesome father, I have learnt so much of you in this month alone... thank you
"The sensation feels kinda good but like it...shouldnt?" Hahaha that made me crack up! You sounded so weirded out by them :-p
You are such a devoted father. It's so amazing to see. :D
Thank you so much.
@@fatheringautism need to give lessons about being a human to mine. He doesn't understand children need parents all the time, even if it's just sitting on the couch and doing nothing. You're such a Great Daddy Asa. You really are. Parents should be PROUD 💖🦚
"The sensation feels kinda good, but like it shouldn't...?"
IM DYING
it wasn't that funny chill
Abbie looks so happy at the beginning!

Hang in there Your doing great.
Your daughter is so beautiful. Please tell her that If anything happens, to know that we all love her.
I'm a CNA & just got a job with a severe austic child & this video has helped me a lot! Thank you!!!!
I'm so glad!
She has grown so much
This was the first video of yours that I ever watched- I was originally looking for ideas for sensory activities for preschoolers but this autoplayed after another video I was watching. I’ve been following and watching every video ever since!
I love these water beads...if Nicolas doesn't eat them, we love playing in theses. Thanks for the wonderful idea of sorting colors.
Wow, YOU ARE AMAZING. I have an adult child and work with people who are neuro diverse. You have some amazing techniques for working with your daughter. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are such a great father!
I got suggested this old video - I might have to try that water beads balloon!
Love you guys
Great effort by father...your daughter is so pretty...
Everything you do is very inspiring. I'll be trying some of these things with my girl. Thank you
Very cool! Glad you like it.
Luciano De Leon Menendez me to
we love your family. you have tought us so much through Facebook and now you tube. we can't wait to get our puppy for our little guy. Thanks for everything!
Aww, thanks so much! I'm so happy we could help.
I have anxiety and a little bit of autism and ocd and hyper active these are so cool thanks
She really liked that last one💙
Gosh i love your family
I love you guys how beautiful family
She's sooo cuuuute!
I love these ideas I will have to try these out for my daughter 😊
She's so cute
ooh i like the lucky dip shape sorting with the orbez 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for this! I now have new ideas I can try with my sister :) God bless!🙏
I like the use of the orbees thingies. Putting the objective inside a container with a sensation... I was just going to try to incorporate sensations into the tables build. Love this idea.
Thank you for these wonderful ideas! I'm very new to this world and you've helped me a lot! Thank you again, I hope my son enjoys these activities as much as your daughter did 😊
👫
can you believe I just figured out the whole like and subscribe thing like yesterday. I have been watching all these utube videos and seeing everyone telling everybody to do that and I guess just letting it go over my head. even with the obvious pointing, gesturing, describing, etc. I still had no clue what that meant.
You guys get two thumbs up!
+RedRock Asrama Ha, well thanks for the Like and subscribe! Have a great weekend!
FatheringAutism Thanks, you guys too!
Oh wow! No dislikes, that's awesome!
Desmey seven dislikes
You Sir are a great man. Cool tips..
Hi FatheringAutism! I'm a new subscriber and have been watching some of your current videos, but am currently binge watching all of your videos from oldest to newest!
I just wanted to comment on this one, because I actually use water beads as one of the things to help with my grief-induced anxiety! I have a big heavy-duty bag of water beads that I keep closed so they don't dry out, and when I want to calm myself down, I can unzip it and just mush my hand around inside it. I was actually doing it during this vid! Abby's really amazing and I just want to say how much I'm enjoying these videos and watching your loving family.
Awesome, my autistic niece is just that age and I've been running out of ideas for some time. THANKS!!!!
I seriously need to buy some water beads. I first saw them quite a few years ago at a market. They were used for plants. Now everyone knows about them and it's become a toy, too! Does Abbie like the feel of sand? Like pushing your hand in a tub of sand. That and buttons - buttons feel cool and sound cool, too, but you need a LOT of them.
ohh water beads are orbeeze
Well yea, orbeeze is just the brand though.
Great job! My son is almost 4. I'm working on making him sensory buns.
+Pooki's Autism Journey Thanks! She loves our DIY stuff. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
I did already. Can you check out my channel and subscribe too? I'm trying to document my son's autism journey.
Love this DIY. Y’all are great with DIY.
Water beads are awesome toys both for kids with sensory issues and without! Makes bath time a lot of fun. :)
This is excellent !!!
Thanks sir
I may have to try those water bead things myself.
I REALLY NEED TO TOUCH THOSE SHINY WATER BEADS!
These are great! I've just purchased some water beads for one of my sensory songs! Thanks for this, I've subscribed 😁 x
Good job!! you are so great!!
cool
thank you!
+God ibelieve You're welcome
Very cool I'm going to see if my boy would like.
Amazing ❤️
My son had a book and a deck of cards filled with facial expressions. Does Abby do any exercises recognizing facial expressions? Many kids on the spectrum struggle with eye contact and recognizing expressions.
I laughed when you said, "Good job, Rockstar". I use the term "rockstar" a lot when I am working with kids.
I do have a question:
With the water beads, do you know if there is any issue if they are swallowed? Are they soft enough not to be a choking hazard?
Jason Love They are very soft but I think they could still be a choking hazard. The biggest concern is if they are ingested when they are still dry. Once they expand they can clog up the works. They are however nontoxic. It's a hand over hand activity for us without a doubt.
Very cool. I will give them a try with the kids.
Jason Love just make sure you supervise very closely because if they are ingested it wont be pretty
sam games Good to know. Thank you.
Im always finding an older video I missed, but wanted to comment and let you guys know that putting these water beads in one of the dish tubs and letting the kids put their feet in there....well. Its pretty much the best thing ever.
PS. It feels pretty fantastic on my feet too after a long day! :-)
cool sensory toy 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
you are amazing !!!
Also the channel spectrums life !!
#MaassSquad
AMAZING FAMILY
Rocking counter activities please
Water beads are amazing
We love them.
Hey how did you get her going to the bathroom?
This is awesome :) Loving this channel
Kimberly Cox I'm glad! Thanks for subscribing!
Does Abbie's disability make it so it's hard to understand you, or can she understand you but is not able to communicate?
Fran DeFilio judging from other videos, she can understand most things just fine, but communication is the bigger issue
I saw your video and I think this might work for my 12 year old who had asd she has meltdowns at times
Do you get your items at a craft store or can I order through amazon
How is Abbies family doing right now and how is your animals doing and how is Summer doing and how is Abbies brother doing
i dont have autism but i do wanna try to make the last one. I do have adhd and anxiety i think it would help my anxiety
Rock star
i dont have autism ( i have other stuff but not that) but i wanna make one for myself. I wonder if they are good for adhd
I'm 16 and volunteering for a sensory play event soon. Any tips?
Is it offensive that I'm looking at using some of these with the neurotypical toddlers and preschoolers I work with?
Nope. Sensory play isn't just for autism.
Who put a thumbs down ?!?!???!!?!?
Hey there Abby
Water beads are orbeez?
I started watching your video in 2023
Am autistic and I use to. Be novebel 😊☺👑
u should do slime bro
Do the water beads in the balloon shrink over time? (Or do they pop before you get the chance to find out :P
You mentioned Abigail has PICA ,does she ever attempt to eat the toy ? If so how do you discourage her from doing so ?
+Kelly Darroch She mouths most things. Some toys are only played with with direct supervision. Although nontoxic, we don't want her eating waterbeads so we "help" her play with those. One of the most used phrases in our house is "Out of your mouth!"
FatheringAutism Thanks for that I work at a school in Scotland for children with Autism and this is the struggle I find with some of our students during sensory play. I am glad I found your channel as it is so helpful to me and I really am interested in ABA . You clearly have had lots of success with it with your daughter . Thanks for sharing your journey 🙂
