39 Edible Sensory Activities + Next Week's Activity Plan


Hi Reader -

Thank you! I got some great feedback that you like the weekly plan of activities and the supply list - and that Friday is a great day to send it so you can prep over the weekend. Any other suggestions?

We have our 'spring break' this weekend - just a long 4-day weekend with Friday and Monday off of school. Do you have a spring break coming up?

My youngest (who is now 13!) has a basketball tournament this weekend at Wisconsin Dells (have you been? it's known for its water parks!). And we MAY be taking him to his very first NBA game. Don't be like us and NOT plan ahead.... grab some activities below to be ready for your free time with your kids!
