Sensory DIY Project: Sensory Lap Belts

Our lap belt is a great tool to help provide some proprioceptive input for your sensory kiddo. It's a great way to help a child control their fidgets and focus for school or any other task.

Sensory Lap Belts

Supplies:

  • 1 long no-heel sock - We used an adult size SmartKnit KAFO sock, but any long, no-heel sock will do
  • Uncooked rice
  • Needle and thread
  • Scissors
  • Fabric markers or other permanent markers
  • Essential oil

Directions:

  1. Fill the sock with rice.
  2. Fold the edges of the sock in to create a crease where you want the seam to be.
  3. Thread the needle and sew an invisible seam along the crease.
  4. Knot and snip your thread.
  5. Personalize your lap belt using the markers to create designs or doodles.
  6. Add a few drops of essential oil. (Over time, this step may need to be repeated.)
