    Put the little pieces in a ziplock bag with gelatinous (sp?) liquid such as liquid soap. Seal the baggie and secure even more with duct tape or similar and then tape them to the patio door. This encourages the little ones to stand based on the height of these bags and they can try and move the pieces around inside the bag.

    Save toilet roll inserts or wrapping paper cardboard tubes and tape them at an angle so they can shoot items through it. Balls and marbles are great if the children are older but dinky cars work well too. Just make sure they aren't the cheap-o dollar store ones which don't hold up so well.

    Lay out a plastic table cloth on the lawn or any other easy clean up area and then mix shaving foam with food colours. Hint - strip them down to diapers first!

    ha you tried taping things to the floor or table for them. So like get sandpaper, textured paper, felt, bubble wrap etc and tape along all sides to the floor or table to the kids can touch them without picking them up. also sensory bags and bottles are fun but the kids learn best using all their senses, so taste is one of those.
    you can also rub a cinnamon stick on sandpaper and it makes it smell nice. you can do scented playdoh. for the Fall its always fun to use pinecones, leaves and sticks. ( a little bit of fiber!!!lol)

    Tape bubble wrap on the floor and let them walk on it in bare feet.
    its frustrating but just look at the smiles on their faces and take lots of pictures!!!
