Certain sounds, sights and smells can trigger a feeling of overwhelm in children who have sensory issues. This may challenge many areas of a child’s life. Therapists are now suggesting the use of toys for kids with sensory issues to keep them calm and entertained.
One of the best toys are ones that involve touch. Some beneficial ones are sand, slime and putty. Kinetic Sand is the greatest. The texture of the sand can be soothing to a child with sensory issues. These ideas are not only calming, but they also help to develop fine motor skills and encourage imagination play.
Sensory balls and fidget toys are other options of toys that are great for kids with sensory issues. And a foam pogo jumper will help burn off some steam!
Kinetic Sand
Kinetic sand is mesmerizing. Made of 98% sand and 2% magic! It sticks together so it will shape and mold into anything you can imagine. It never dries out so you can play with it again and again.
Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to kids so kinetic sand is non-toxic and wheat, gluten & casein free.
