Sensory Overload

Help me give my students the sensory toys they need to help them thrive on a daily basis.

My Project

Sensory items are very important to have in the classroom. My little preschoolers tend to have sensory overload and sometimes just need to take a moment and take a step back before they go on with their day.

Even as adults, we have sensory overload!

We are asking for different types of sensory items. Sensory bands for our chairs will help a great deal with some of our kiddos who get antsy and have trouble sitting for a little while. Stress balls and marble fidgets are nice to have for the students on the carpet during large group when they may be having some trouble focusing.
