Need ideas for Sensory Play and Arts & Crafts

Depending on how old your daughter is:

Mud kitchen outside if you have a space for it - old kitchen pots and pans and old utensils. Can make mud patties and pies and 'coffee' in old mugs.

'magic potions' or 'perfume' - choosing and mixing leaves and flowers to go in a 'cauldron' (old saucepan). If you have old bottles and a jug she can try pouring into the bottles. Could use eco friendly dye to make different colours.

Make own paint brushes using feathers and twigs/leaves.

Flower pounding - scraps of white cotton, or old white t shirts/vests cut up. Place coloured flowers/leaves on cotton and fold over, bash with a small hammer to transfer the colours to the cotton. 

Make art by glueing dried leaves to paper

Making bracelets/necklaces with beads.

Make glass lanterns for tea lights out of old jam jars and pretty/coloured napkins glued to the outside. Can add wire to rim if you want to hang up.

Ooh another idea is printing with dried leaves. Just spread some paint on a hard washable surface, lightly press the leaf into the paint, then apply to paper
