May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, a time when we shine a spotlight on the importance of communication and applaud the professionals who help us better express ourselves. But it’s not just about awareness – it’s also about engagement and fun! That’s why we’re dedicating this post to some fantastic Better Speech and Hearing Month sensory crafts. These activities not only foster creativity and fine motor skills, but they can also be an engaging way to develop communication skills. So, gather the kids, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to dive into a world of colorful, tactile, and sound-filled fun!
