Sensory DIY Project: Sensory Texture Books

Texture books are a great tool to give your kiddos a sensory input take-along. This could be useful in the car, the shopping cart, in the waiting room at the doctor's office or even waiting for your food in a restaurant. This book provides hours of calm touch-and-feel time for your kiddo that needs sensory input.

But, any kind of texture sheet or object can be used. You can recreate what we've done, or explore different textures your child prefers.

  2. Carefully glue each full textured sheet to one of the pieces of hard felt. (Do not cover punched holes.)
  3. Glue other textured items to one or more pages of hard felt. (Do not cover punched holes.)
