Original caption

This is Griffin’s current OBSESSION! 🎈💦 A plastic water bottle + balloons = hours of fun! 🙌🏼 His BCBA taught us this little trick, and he absolutely LOVES it. He asks to play with it every single day and will stay engaged with it for the longest time! My son has Angelman Syndrome and global developmental delays, so finding an activity that keeps him interested for more than 30 seconds is a HUGE win in our house. 🥹💙 Sometimes the simplest activities are the BEST activities! If you have a child who needs a little extra sensory or play inspiration, try this one! 🎈 #AngelmanSyndrome #SpecialNeedsParenting #SensoryPlay #DisabilityAwareness #specialneedskids
