Even more Sensory Boards

I made some more sensory boards the other day.  They can be used to touch and feel or a wall decoration in a sensory room (they will catch the light).............These are so easy and quick I had to share (both took me less than 15 minutes to make):

You need:

  • 2 plastic chopping boards (I got these ones from Daiso)
  • Pre-curled ribbon for presents (exact number depends on the size of your board)
  • Present puffs or other decoration
  • Stick on velcro
  • cable ties
  • drill
  • nail clippers

Instructions for the "fish":

  • Drill two holes for each ribbon you have
  • Take any staples out of the ribbon


  • Attach to the front of the board with a cable tie and tighten as much as possible, trim cable tie with the nail clippers

  • Hold both sides of the ribbon together, put a cable tie around it and tighten as much as you can (this is so it won't be able to be pulled off the board).  Trim cable tie with the nail clippers.





 Instructions "Pom, Pom apple"


  • Stick two strips of velcro on the cutting board
  • Place a small piece of the opposite side of the velcro on the back of the pom poms.
  • Attach the poms poms to the cutting board
NOTE: I use the velcro as the double sided tape on the back of the ribbons and poms poms tends to be useless (they will continually fall off) and it means I can replace one very easily if one gets destroyed or tatty.  I don't recommend continually removing and reattaching them, they will not last if you do that.
