My Project

I am writing this project to seek support from generous donors in providing sensory tools for my students with special needs. These items will help them regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and promote good mental health.

My students face unique challenges daily, and having access to sensory items will create a more inclusive, calming classroom environment where they can focus, learn, and thrive.

Here are the items I hope to bring into our classroom:

50-Piece Fidget Toy Pack - A versatile set of fidget toys to help students manage stress and anxiety.

Scientoy Fidget Toy Set (35 Pcs) - Includes motion timers, textured toys, and more to cater to various sensory needs.

SCIONE LED Light Up Fidget Spinner Bracelets (24 Pack) - Glow-in-the-dark sensory bracelets that are perfect for engagement and calming activities.

ArtCreativity Light-Up Magic Ball Wand - A spinning, flashing wand to captivate and calm students during sensory breaks.

Textured Stretchy Sensory Toys - Designed specifically for children with autism and anxiety to offer tactile stimulation and stress relief.

Cevioce Fidget Slug Toys (3 Pcs) - Cute and engaging sensory toys that are fun and soothing for kids and adults alike.

Fidget Simple Pack (35 Pcs) - Includes popping and stress relief fidget toys, perfect for classroom use.

Pop Fidget Toys (4 Pcs) - Colorful stress balls that provide a fun, interactive way to help students focus and relax.

BUNMO Pop Tubes (4 Pack) - Stretchable sensory toys for imaginative play and creative learning.

These sensory tools will help my students learn self-regulation strategies, making a lasting impact on their ability to engage in classroom activities and interact with peers.

With your support, we can make a difference in their daily lives, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
