Sensory trail

Our group in class will be putting together a sensory trail for a therapeutic riding farm in the next few weeks. I am so excited about doing this project and think about it a lot of the time. This farm has riders from 2yrs of age to 75 years of age. I attached a link of a sensory trail that I really like. Some of the things on this trail we will also have on ours. The tennis balls around the tree will provide tactile and visual stimulation. Also, the riders will need balance control to reach out and touch the tennis balls. We are doing several station that include wind chimes, plants, and foam noodles. I can hardly wait to get started in putting this project together! Our group works so well with each other. We also have the common goal of doing something for others that will be fun while being therapeutic. Please take a look at the website I attached. It is amazing how simple objects can stimulate the senses, young or old. The joy we are getting out of doing this project is huge!
