My Project

In our counseling space, sensory activities and creative tools are essential for helping our kindergarten through 5th grade students regulate their emotions, develop coping strategies, and express themselves in healthy ways. This project will provide the supplies needed to create sensory bins for students to use in their therapy sessions.

We are requesting storage trays and plastic containers which will be transformed into sensory bins and seek and find social emotional activities.

Additionally, we are requesting items such as soft filler, scoops and shovels, and sorting items for the sensory bins. We'll be using the paper and laminating sheets to create durable task cards which will prompt students to practice specific coping strategies when they find the task cards hidden within the sensory bins. Sensory bins are a proven tool for helping students calm their minds and prepare for learning. By combining sensory regulation with counseling interventions, we can teach emotion-regulation, mindfulness, and problem-solving in a hands-on way.

With your support, we can ensure that every student has access to these tools as part of their counseling services.
