Try this activity: Spider hunt with dry beans
This can be used as an “eye-spy” activity for older children who can visually scan and find the spiders. For the babies, this one has high contrast, which will capture their visual attention, and the sound of the beans will capture their auditory attention guiding their eyes to the sounds.

Super simple but so stimulating! All you need for this one is a Halloween blend of pompoms. The orange, black and white are mesmerising to watch as they gently fall and move.
Try this activity: Eyeballs and bells

We added some small bells in with three plastic eyeballs into the tube. The eyeballs in the tube will automatically create a visual target that allows you to work on visual fixation, pursuits, and tracking, all in this one simple tube. The bells inside will stimulate the auditory system, helping guide their eyes to the target.
