Sensory Toys are specially designed items that stimulate one or more of the senses: touch, sight, sound, smell, taste, and movement. They're used to support children's development and can be especially helpful for children with sensory processing challenges, autism, ADHD, or anxiety.
Multi-Sensory Engagement
  - Touch: Varied textures, weights, and materials.
  - Sight: Bright colours, patterns, and visual stimuli.
  - Sound: Gentle sounds like crinkling, bells, or soothing music.
  - Smell: Safe and pleasant scents.
  - Taste: For chewable toys, ensure they are made of non-toxic, safe materials.
Sensory Toys should be captivating and keep the child's interest. Ideally they can be used in various ways to prevent boredom and provides an appropriate level of challenge and stimulation. Lightweight and easy to carry Sensory Toys are perfect for on-the-go use such as restaurants, travel and boring shopping trips!
Examples of good Sensory Toys include Needoh, textured balls, sensory bins, musical toys, play dough and musical boxes.Â
