If you follow me on Instagram or TikTok, you may have seen the beginning of a new picky pad series, picking at my Alphabet Soup Picky Pad!

Fine, I’ll post more picky pad videos 😉 Low-key I filmed this last year before I even moved to California, it’s time it saw the light of day! Show this video some love if you want to see more picky pad content from me! 💓 #pickypad #pickypadasmr #asmr #picking #smallbusiness

This picky pad in particular is special because it stimulates not only your senses, but your brain as well. The smooth, round alphabet beads encased in squishy silicone make for a fun and relaxing sensory experience, whether you are using the picky pad for stress relief, keeping your hands busy, or replacing a skin picking habit.

One of my favorite things about the Alphabet Soup Picky Pad is that the fun doesn’t stop once you’ve picked out all of the beads. Unlike many sensory activities, you can reuse the alphabet beads you’ve collected in all kinds of creative ways! Here are three ideas:

Build Your Own Crossword

Challenge yourself to use as many of the letters as you can to form words that intersect each other (think Scrabble-style!). It’s a fun way to exercise your brain while making the most of every bead.

Learning Letters

This sensory picky pad is a great activity to use together with kids who are learning letters, reading, and spelling. Try asking your child if they can find and pick out a specific letter, or use the letters they have collected to spell words together.

Please supervise young children when using this picky pad, as beads are a choking hazard.

Make Friendship Bracelets

Make your own beaded bracelets with friends’ names or any message you want using the letters you picked out of your picky pad. It’s a fun way to turn your sensory experience into a personalized craft and create a keepsake from your alphabet beads.
