Are your sensory toys not helping? Shoved in a draw? Not being used?
Whilst fidgets & sensory toys are a valuable source of regulation & stimulation, they’re often not being used.
Here are some of my top picks from Kmart that most certainly will be used !!! (I am not affiliated with Kmart - they just do amazing things)
👉🏽4 Ball massage roller: Deep pressure activates the proprioceptive system and helps regulate the nervous system. Roll on your arms, legs or back
👉🏽Yoga Ball: Deep pressure (Roll over your back and legs whilst laying down on your tummy), sit on it and bounce, roll over it, if space bounce it.
👉🏽Weighted plush toys: the gentle weight provides proprioceptive input that can be calming and grounding.
👉🏽Spinning chair: Spinning feeds the vestibular system.
👉🏽Crash pad: Crashing & jumping onto a crash pad provides the most proprioceptive input! - have you noticed your child jumping off furniture or crashing into things?
👉🏽15 piece Large couch play: carrying, stacking & rearranging the foam pieces provides labour work great for the joints, muscles, motor skills whilst providing proprioceptive input.
