My Project

Kids are stressed. I am a social worker who wants to make sure students always have calming tools at their ready and teachers have them to hand out. It is always nice for teachers to have a fidget or calming tools in their rooms in order to help regulate students. Kids love these things. When they pick them up, they busy their hands and calm their minds. They also often start talking and sharing. Little things that make a big difference. I am coordinating this project to put various calming Sensory Fidget Toys in the hands of each classroom teacher in our school. I know that by having them at the ready, we can reduce stress, increase involvement, and keep busy minds focused.

Thank you for allowing our students the gift of stress reduction.

It is very important in our students' lives.
