I'm starting to prepare for our annual nightmare time. Our son hates Christmas and lives in fear of Santa. Each year as school prepares for Christmas our son is taken ill with stress and has to be taken out of school before he ends up in hospital. Trying to tell friends and family to please not make a fuss and keep popping over with presents is just not sinking in and for our daughter's sake it's hard to "cancel" the whole event. Does anyone else suffer these problems and found any escape plans? HELP!

  • Matching pairs game

    Use a digital camera to make your own cards for this game. you can photograph your own matching pairs ie your dog, your home, family, etc You'll need two of each.

  • Blue tack

    Carry a small piece of Blue tack or similar for your child to play with if they are fidgety and need to touch and play with something. They can make little men and characters or just roll it in their fingers.

  • Sensory flour games

    I mix cornflour and water together and it makes a great sensory play tool. Also put flour into a plastic bag and seal it with some food colouring. As it gets squished round it will change colour.
