These are some of the larger staples we use in our household to meet sensory needs.
We have two nugget couches and we use them alll the time! From climbing and sliding to movie night loungers, they’re so versatile and fun!
The Nugget® - Koala
This swivel chair has been a game changer for my kids! They use it just about every day when they’re antsy and in need of movement. The chair is also surprisingly sturdy and easy to put together.
Sensory Spinning Chair for Kids with Autism & ADHD
This ride on toy gets used at least a couple of times per week by my preschooler and even his older brother (6 years old). We use it in the living room, but it can also be used outside.
Kids Roller Coaster Toys
This pikler climber has been amazing for our kids. It's bigger than some of the other options, is easy to put together, and is very sturdy. It's been an amazing toy for getting them moving.
Lily & River Little Climber XL with Reversible Rockwall & Climber
Smaller Sensory Items
These are perfect bedtime buddies, creating a bit of warmth and comfort to help them prepare for bed. I’ve also used them to help the kids with tummy pains.
Warmies™
My kids love playing with kinestic sand in a variety of ways. They can bury toys in it, use it with molds to create shapes, make sand castles, etc. This particular option is awesome because it comes with a sturdy case that helps keep it all together.
Kinetic Sand Folding Sand Box
These are perfect for helping to teach kids about big emotions. Each of the bottles flows differently, which helps to mirror the feelings. They're pretty calming as well, which is helpful.
Express Your Feelings Sensory Bottles
These are fun for teaching calming breathing techniques. There are several double sided boards to choose from, which allows kids to pick a specific pattern that they want to trace. They're a fun, calming activity.
