An idea that came up at the final meeting of the preschool placement, was the idea of having a sensory box. Our son likes to chew things alot and puts pretty much everything in his mouth, and he likes the feel of things, in particular the reversible sequins. He loves moving them back and forth.
Preschool suggested having a box of sensory items that was readily available to him when he needed sensory relief.
For his birthday in July last year, I made up a box of items I picked up on Amazon and eBay and also some bits and pieces I picked up from Home Bargains. You don’t need to spend alot, I didn’t. I put them in a gift bag and he loved it! I done the same at Christmas and will do the same for his birthday this year.
Here are a few ideas:
