For my food-themed sensory bin I got this “Ice Cream Treats” kinetic sand pack. I got one years ago and had the hardest time keeping kids from mixing the colors/scents/flavors! This year I got the refill sand pack and let kids choose which one flavor ice cream the wanted to play with each session – …
For my food-themed prizes I got these containers of ice cream scented kinetic sand. Since they’re so much more expensive than my usual prizes (which are usually $0.50 each or less) I let the kids pick their kinetic sand at the beginning of the month and choose from the usual prize bin each week (as …
Who doesn’t love a spinner?! It reminds me of the episode of “The Office” where Pam makes a spinner for the office chores, then has to make a whole game out of it (but sneaks a tiny chore spinner into the game). Best of all: it’s disinfect-able (which is important to me when I have …

Every October I practice trick-or-treating with my patients. For the week before Halloween, we end our regular appointment early and I have the kids go out into the hall, knock on my door, then say, “Trick or treat!” and I give them a piece of parent-approved candy (I get a pack of Yum Earth’s Halloween …
For my “magic” prizes I got a pack of glow stick jewelry; I like giving these out for Halloween so the kids can wear them as a safety precaution while trick-or-treating. I also used the remaining glow stick bug jewelry from last year (they weren’t very popular and I had a lot left). You can …
For my magic-themed sensory bin I bought an off-brand kinetic sand (which I don’t recommend because the glitter came out – I recommend the official Kinetic Sand brand glitter sand, instead) and added these plastic gems and these fairy minis. I then added the magic minis I already had, including Llama Hatchimals, unicorns, and dragons. …

Click here to visit my magic-AKA-spooky-themed virtual treatment room and see the webcams, apps, videos, and websites I’m using this month.

I’m still developing my monthly themes that I’ll be able to reuse each year to save myself time and energy. You can find the rest of my monthly themes here. I’ve made my theme for September “Wildlife.” Here are the ways I’ve incorporated “wildlife” into my practice this month… You can find my other themed virtual …
