My Project

In my classroom, we have a lot of kids that have very strong sensory needs. This sometimes leads to a lot of classroom destruction. I would love to offer these sensory toys in hope that my kids find the stimulation that they need through these. They love items where they can pull it apart. They love items that include vivid colors for them to see. I have included items that represent these needs for my students. This would help me so much to give my students with sensory issues something to stim with.
