Sensory Items

Play with sensory items stimulates the senses. Sensory play can involve noisy toys, interactive books, strange shapes, music, bubbles, painting, sand, and much more. Our range of sensory items helps autistic and neurodiverse people begin to understand and become more aware of the world around them.

Benefits of sensory items

We interpret the world through information our senses process – this is true of everyone. Encouraging our neurodiverse children to learn about their own senses through interaction and exploration of appropriate toys, tools, and educational products is essential. Our sensory items help them learn more about the world and how different things impact them.

What are the main benefits of sensory play?

Sensory play helps children begin to understand and then question the world around them. Benefits of sensory play include and are not limited to the following:

Learning and problem-solving: play with sensory items encourages learning and increases problem-solving abilities. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain and develops neural pathways, triggering the inclination for and ability to complete more complex tasks.

Language development: play with items such as sensory flash cards or games encourages language development.

Memory function: repetitive play with sensory items boosts memory function. Children learn to process information and enhance their memory by exposure to many colours, sounds, smells, and noises.

Motor skills: sensory items allow users to improve gross and fine motor skills. From brightly coloured stepping-stones and balance bars to easy-to-hold chalks and paints, our range of sensory items will help your child learn new skills and help boost self-confidence.

Social interaction: by participating in interactive sensory play, autistic and neurodiverse children learn essential social skills they’ll need at kindy and school.

Develop sensory attributes: through sensory play, children begin to learn sensory attributes. By understanding the differences between dry and wet, hot and cold, and quiet and loud, children begin to understand the world and how it can affect them.

Introducing sensory play

All children are natural explorers eager to learn and absorb the world around them – even those who are neurodivergent. You can easily adapt sensory activities for different ages, needs and abilities.
