Sensory Activities: Focus on Feet – Foot Spa + Salt Lamp

Sensory Activities: Focus on Foot Spa +  Salt Lamp/rainbow lamp or penguin lamp [put away out of Fela’s reach after use]

*It has come to our attention that the salt lamp is damaged. Please explain to Fela that “it is broken so Mama will try to fix it”, put it away in a bag labelled ‘For Carla’, then leave it under the desk or the red footstool in the dining room for Carla to pick up.

Method:

• Lay brown floor towel underneath Fela’s feet as he sit on the settee.
• Bring foot spa from upstairs dressing room.
• fill with half warm and top up with some boiled water from the kettle.
• Bring the foot scrub downstairs from transparent box labelled ‘Foot Care’ in corner wardrobe upstairs.
• Squeeze some into Fela’s hands and prompt him to rub into the soles of his feet thoroughly before putting his feet in the foot spa.
• Add 3-4 drops of Bergamot essential oil.
• Assist Fela to turn the dial to start the vibrations.
• Finish after 20-30 minutes.
• Fela can be prompted to wipe his feet on the brown towel.

All extra essential oils are kept in Fela’s toilettries box in Hall cupboard 2.

Recommended:

• Bergamot essential oil –
• foot spa (add 3 drops Bergamot essential oil to warm-hot water) x 30 minutes
