Activity Generator

Find a sensory activity matched to your child

Generic activity lists ignore sensory needs. Tell Beacon the goal and the age, and it suggests an activity matched to what your child's nervous system can handle right now.

How it works

1. 1.Set the goal. Pick what you are going for and your child's age.
2. 2.Add the sensory fit. Beacon factors in what their nervous system can handle right now.
3. 3.Get the activity. A ready-to-try idea that fits the kid you have today.

Frequently asked questions

What are good sensory activities for an autistic child?

It depends on whether your child seeks or avoids input. Seekers often love heavy work, swinging, and textured play. Avoiders do better with calm, low-stimulation activities. Beacon matches a suggestion to your child instead of giving a generic list.

What is the difference between sensory seeking and sensory avoiding?

A seeker craves more input and is often in motion, touching everything. An avoider gets overwhelmed and pulls away from noise, lights, or textures. Beacon asks which fits your child and suggests activities that work for that profile.

What activities are right for my child's age?

A toddler and a teen need very different things even with the same sensory profile. Beacon factors in age and sensory needs together so the activity actually fits.

What can I do at home with limited supplies?

Plenty works with what you already have: heavy-work chores, water play, playdough, a quiet corner. Beacon leans toward activities you can set up at home without special equipment.

Is the activity tool free and do I need an account?

You can get one activity match free with no account. A free account gives you one per tool, Standard gives 3 a month, and Plus or Annual is unlimited.
