Indoor Fun
This is brilliant for creating a relaxed and calm enviroment for those tough days when claming down can be a real struggle.
Lava Lamp For Kids
I am in love with this chair, I have to admit i have been on one and tried it out and it was amazing. Don't get me wrong if you're not good on roundabouts then this is not the chair but if you find those things fun then this is absolutely for you or ...
Sensory Twist Chair
These can be for children who struggle to express their feelings, having something to handle,mould and squish can be a real outlet.
Play Dough sets
Another sensory aid, you can use these outdoors or have them on a wall, these can be used in so many ways, such as get a shower curtain, tie to the hoop and you have a ready made tent.
Hula hoops for all | Snap & Go, Multi-Color, LED
Another item that can be used at home. These are brilliant for focus and balance. These can be a really challenge but are so much fun, believe me when i say i have had a go on these and it is great fun.
Balance Stones
These are brilliant if your child likes to see the change between light objects and dark. I will link the bricks and things you can use on this table in my other tabs.
Light Box For Kids
These can go with the light box table or just use a torch to show the light and dark, great for building.
Transparent Blocks
Now these hands down are one of the most popular with the children I look after, they love to challenge each other on what they can build and how high they can make it. With being magnetic it really helps with building them, also on the tidy up as th...
Magnetic Tiles
Outdoor Fun
Bubble machines are loved by nearly everyone, I have found these to be a fantastic way of calming and sensory aid. Also encourage group play and can now be bought pet friendly so even the four legged friends can join in.
Bubble Machine
The foam squares can be very handy if you have an accident prone child or one that throws things on the floor. easy to clean and change. comes in different colours, can also be used outdoors in the nicer weather.
Foam Mats For Kids
Wind chimes can be great for the outdoor area, children can use these to focus on regulating selves by watching and listening to the sounds.
Wooden Wind Chimes
There are fantastic outdoor sensory play ideas which if you haven't got a big budget can be done with some out of the box thinking. I once made a pull through toy with string, pasta and a box, and the child loved it. It's all about the play , getting...
Outdoor Sensory Toys for all the fun a child would need.
Another way to get the energy out is by getting one of these, you can make it hard or easy depending on the child and their needs. Also make it fun by hooking items that the child has to get.
Jungle Gym
We have these in school and the children love them, all different colours and sizes. I would suggest the seat version for a child that needs that reassurance but doesn't want the affection of a person. This can be very calming.
Kids Hammock
Bedroom Ideas
Light projectors can help anyone to redirect the mind to a happier place. There are lots of different ones to choose from so you should be able to find a subject that you would like to use.
Light Projector And Music
Another type of projector, this is more to encourage a calming and relaxed environment, The great thing is the flexibility so can be taken anywhere such as school,holiday and even the grandparents house.
Star Projector
These bed tents are for those that struggle in open spaces such as a bedroom, For a child a room to themselves can be very scary so having this can be a comfort,safe space and also a good communication tool, if closed you know they need to be alone, ...
Children's bedroom canopies
This is good for children who struggle on hard chairs, these can be seen as a comfort and something to snuggle into when distressed. also good for sensory as they are soft, some with different fabrics with the balls inside.
Kids Bean Bag Chairs
This is another item i have personally tried and tested and fell in love with. I had never seen one before until we ordered one for our sensory room in school. Both children and adults love it and it is a great way for the children to be alone or hid...
Swivel armchair
Depending on the size of the room, i have found tents of all shapes and size to be a real asset. Not only can be a different safe space but depending on size can be shared with others if wanted. We use one in school for the children that get very ove...
