Ultimate Amazon Sensory Processing Christmas Gift Guide
Jeanette Loftus
The holiday season is a fun time to spoil your little ones and for the children who have sensory processing disorder, the right gifts can make a very big difference in their lives. If you’re shopping for a child with sensory differences or anyone who could use a bit of sensory input, Amazon offers a huge selection of high-quality sensory tools and gifts. I wanted to create an ultimate sensory processing Amazon gift guide to help you find the perfect gifts for your child and loved ones.
This Christmas, think about gifting the children in your life some beneficial sensory tools from Amazon. These sensory tools and toys can provide sensory input, focus and calming. Sensory toys and tools engage all eight senses. They provide a way for children to explore textures, sounds and a variety of different sensations.
Amazon offers such a huge selection of sensory toys and tools, which makes it so easy to find the perfect gift for every child who struggles with sensory processing disorder.
Squishy sensory fidgets provide a discreet and engaging way for kids to release excess energy, self regulation and focus their attention.
Sensory weighted blankets are blankets that provide a deep pressure, which can be incredibly calming and soothing for children with sensory sensitivities.
Sensory Bins are great Christmas gifts. They are filled with different sensory textures like rice, beans and water. Sensory bins stimulate tactile exploration and encourage imaginative play for children.
Light up sensory tools and toys provide visual stimulation and can be very calming for children who have sensory differences.
Bubbles are a great sensory activity, blowing bubbles and watching them can be so captivating and calming for children.
Sensory play dough provides a tactile experience that can be so soothing, stimulating and calming.
Noise reduction headphones are a great gift ideas for children who are sensitive to loud noises as they help block out loud and overwhelming sounds and create a more quiet environment.
Sensory swings and hammocks both provide a calming therapeutic sensory experience that can help with a child with their vestibular sensory input and proprioception input too.
Amazon offers a large selection of sensory tool options with competitive pricing and convenient delivery. This makes using Amazon so much easier than going into overwhelming stores at Christmas time. Busy overcrowded malls and shops can cause sensory overload and sensory meltdowns for children and adults who have sensory processing disorder.
Purchasing sensory toys for a child can be very helpful but it's also important to remember that every child is unique with unique sensory needs. Always consult with your child's occupational therapist or healthcare professional for which sensory tools would be best for your child's sensory diet. This holiday season, give the gift of sensory, Happy shopping, and happy holidays!
