Over 100 Tools & Toys For Sensory Processing Disorder
A benefit of for using sensory tools is their ability to soothe children because they are calming. Many sensory tools provide deep pressure or tactile stimulation and that can have a calming effect on our nervous systems. This can be helpful for children who can become easily overwhelmed by sensory input or have difficulty regulating their emotions.
Many sensory toys are open-ended and that means that they can be used in many different ways and they encourage children to use their imagination while playing. This will teach children to explore and discover new ways of using different sensory toys and tools which will help them to be creative and learn new problem solving skills.
Sensory tools can be great for fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. There are many sensory toys that require a child to use their fine motor skills like squeezing, twisting, or manipulating objects. When children use these sensory tools they strengthen their hand muscles and improve their hand-eye coordination, which is so important for writing, drawing, and self-care activities too.
Sensory tools have social benefits too because they can be used in group settings like in a classroom to encourage social interaction and cooperation. A sensory bin in the classroom can help children develop their social skills, such as turn-taking, sharing, and communication too.
Sensory tools and toys offer a very big range of benefits for children of all ages. They can help children who have sensory processing disorder with sensory integration, feel calm, stimulate their creativity and imagination, improve fine motor skills, and enhance social skills. The possibilities with sensory toys are endless and have so many benefits.
