What's included in the Suggested Sensory Packet?

 

One Large Sensory Caterpillar

This large caterpillar is an ideal toy for sensory tactile play. The caterpillar has rubbery strands for lots of visual and sensory fun. Walk the caterpillar over your child's legs and arms to familiarize him with the feel and texture. Hold the caterpillar, squeeze it, toss it and catch it. Encourage pretend play while the caterpillar crawls along and finds food to eat. This popular toy produces tons of fun children with sensory needs.

 

One Noise Putty

"Brap!!" Kids love this putty. It produces barrels of laughs! The putty makes outrageous noises each time you press or squeeze it. This activity is excellent for building finger resistance and hand strength. Fine motor skills are important for academic success. Finger strength and dexterity are vital for simple skills such as doing zippers and buttons and eating with utensils. Playing with this putty increases strength and will improve pre-writing skills.

 

Two Giggle Sticks

These giggle sticks have such a funny laugh when you shake them that you will giggle too. The giggle stick has bubbles with a wand and a whistle which is a fun way to address oral motor and speech skills. This toy is an excellent motivator for kids who simply won't want to put it down.

 

One Blow Horn

The term oral motor ability relates to the strength, movement and coordination of the muscles and structures of the mouth. Because we use the same muscles for speaking and eating, it's important to develop these muscles and structures. This blow horn is slightly harder to blow than a whistle. It's also very loud. Children need to position their mouth over the hole to blow, allowing them to work on different muscles than a regular whistle. The convenient strap allows them to walk around with this toy.

 

Two Cans of Paint Slime

This is an excellent sensory activity. It feels just like liquid but it's not. Start by encouraging children to dip their fingers in the paint. Pour the paint on a piece of paper and tell children to make patterns with their fingers. Encourage children to hold a blob of paint in their cupped hands. It won't be long before children begin to love this sensory experience. This item is not recommended for children under three years old.

 

Two Yo-Yo Puffer Balls

These yo-yo puffer balls are are an ideal toy for simple games and sensory tactile play. Children will love these tactile and tickly balls. Sensory balls are ideal for encouraging early co-ordination and ball handling because of their unusual texture. Run the puffer balls over a child's arms and tickle their feet with the soft spiky material. Put your finger in the loop and use it as a yo-yo. Squeeze them, catch them and toss them. These yo-yo puffer balls provide hours of fun.

 

Three Whistle Blowers

These whistles are a fun way to address oral motor and respiration skills for speech development. Whistles are used as tools for lip rounding, jaw control, tongue retraction, and sustained control of the respiratory muscles used in speech. These whistles are really easy to blow. A convenient strap allows a child to wear it on their wrist. They can also be easily clipped to a key ring.

 

Two Tactile Snow Tubs

Fine motor skills are important for academic success. Tactile snow helps students to develop tactile strength and dexterity while engaging in craft activities. This tactile snow can be molded and shaped into fun objects. Each tub has three different colors. Encourage children to create faces, paw prints and simple objects with this fun snow. You can also roll it into balls, squeeze it and make it stick to objects. A great sensory and fine motor experience. This is not recommended for children under three years of age who might put it in their mouth.

 

One Sticky Animal

If your student has a hard time working with glue we suggest you try sticky animals. These animals feel as sticky as glue, but they're not glue. This will help desensitize students to working with glue, without the need to wash hands every minute. Suggested activities are making the animals kiss, walk side by side and sit back to back. The games will take your child's focus away from the stick feeling and before you know it, your student will be able to tolerate glue. This item is not recommended for children under three.
