Early Childhood Sensory Toolkit

Description

Introducing the Early Childhood Sensory Toolkit by Fun and Function LLC, a thoughtfully assembled collection of sensory tools and toys designed to support the developmental journey of young children, particularly those with autism. This toolkit is an invaluable resource for creating engaging and therapeutic sensory environments at home, in therapy settings, or in early learning classrooms.

The Early Childhood Sensory Toolkit includes a wide range of items, each selected for its ability to stimulate one or more senses. From visually stimulating light-up toys and colorful shape sorters to auditory feedback instruments and tactile sensory balls, the toolkit covers the full spectrum of sensory experiences. It also features calming tools like weighted lap pads and soft, plush textures to provide comfort and security for children needing sensory regulation.

Beyond the sensory items themselves, the toolkit comes with guidance and activities designed to maximize the benefits of each tool. Whether it’s through structured play sessions or spontaneous exploration, children are encouraged to engage their senses, develop critical skills, and find joy in discovery.
