Several of the sensory toys help with spatial relationships and building projects, the bead maze, the magnetic blocks, the Lego dinosaurs, cars and trucks are all. happily being utilized. My creative kiddos love the etch-a-sketch. We can work on focusing and concentration skills by playing Jenga and blowing bubbles. Several love to set up the barnyard with the animals and tractors. \r\nFidget toys are utilized by all and the wide variety has been helpful. I was so pleased to be able to get the spaceship/planets rug and accompanying planet fidget toy, perfect timing for our NASA spaceship launch here in Florida, \r\nThe rug and the dinosaur chairs make the room more comfy and provide a warm environment that assures they are in a safe space. AND the plush....oh my, they absolutely love their big bear and immediately named him Mr. Snuggles. The manatee and alligator are awesome and the kiddos know their Florida creatures. The weighted Stitch gets held and cuddled too, in this way the kiddos are able to utilize the plush as coping strategies for sad, frustrated, confused, and angry feelings.\r\nMy personal favorite are the puppets! These plush creatures and especially the shark (with an internal squeaker) our school mascot, are proving to be an excellent way to express feelings, share experiences, and improve communication skills. And I am so happy I have the puppet stand to keep all clean and on display so they are easily reached and often utilized. \r\nAgain, I thank you and so do these children.
