Products I recommend...

I often get asked what I would recommend for a sensory box or regulation station/calm corner so here are some of the things I use and that providers I have worked with have used that have worked for them.

Please note that the links are Amazon affiliate links, they do not cost you any more but I will get a small amount for recommending you.

  • Compression blanket - Useful for proprioceptive input and for kids who like push, pull and carry activities or big squeezes.

  • Chair bands - Helpful for children to push their feet against to help with getting movement and muscle feedback when sitting.

  • Liquid motion timers - Great for kids who seek visual stimulation and can be used to make timing more predictable.

  • Squishy sensory toy - These ones are a favourite for me and many children! Good squishy feel and also visually satisfising.

  • Ear Defenders - So useful to have a pair or two for children who are auditory sensitive.

  • The Super Sensory Squad Book - Helping children understand different sensory needs through playful penguins.

  • Poppits - You can get such a variety, and you can get different ones that may link to a deep interest of a child. I love these football ones where you can connect through football.

  • Marble mesh fidgets - These fidgets are quite subtle and make no noise which is useful but do not purchase for little ones.

  • Stress Ball - You can get a variety but we love the feel of these NeeDoh ones!

  • Sensory Board - These are great for all ages (even adults!), again no sound too!

  • Sand Timer - These are helpful for children who find transition tricky. They come in different lengths of time and are a good size.
