After chatting with many of our lovely customers who are looking for activities and Sensory Toys that will spark the imagination of their children with sensory needs, we have created a super duper collection of their most favourite toys, games and crafts.
A good sensory toy should engage multiple senses, be safe, and cater to the specific needs and preferences of the child. Here are some ideas;
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 areperfect for on-the-go use such as restaurants, travel and boring shopping trips!
