Sensory Fun at School

Help me give my students sensory toys like magnetic spinner and gears, textured toys, light-up tiles, and visually stimulating toys with water, to help them regulate during learning activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sick's classroom raised $777

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach an amazing group of TK and Kinder students who are ages 4-6. They all have special needs and require sensory supports to assist them in regulating throughout the day. My students are full of energy and each have a unique sensory diet, geared toward their specific needs.

I am requesting sensory support toys like magnetic spinning gears and toys, sandshapes, as well as water- and light-based toys that will provide a variety of sensory input to students who need this in order to learn at school.

These sensory items will support my students’ learning processes by helping them focus and concentrate in a calm, quiet, and appropriate manner.
