[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, 
I have a 5.5yo DS and a 3yo DD who has  sensory processing issues and tends to get overstimulated easily. We recently went to Disney on Ice, mostly bc my DD loves all things Disney and both kids love Minnie and Mickey. DS liked the show a lot. DD really WANTED to like the show, I could tell, but she spent most of the time covering her ears, closing her eyes, and burying into my lap. So we won’t be doing anything like that again for a long time, if ever.

I already know going to the movies would have the same effect, even though everybody is raving about Frozen and the Lego movie. So we are waiting till they come out on DVD. But I’m posting to see if any of you have suggestions for other fun family activities that are less likely to overwhelm DD. When it’s warmer, the zoo works well bc she can stay contained in a stroller and hide away when she wants. And we’ve done the Baltimore aquarium with pretty decent success. Any other suggestions? The mundane stuff like parks and library just get so boring after a while, and I want to be able to do more exciting family activities, for all of us but especially for my DS.

What does your family do for fun without sensory overload?[/quote]
