The students were super excited when it arrived.\r\n\r\nFrom this project we also received a Tonies box and lots of characters. The students love picking a character and having the book read to them.

The impact of previous donations, some as far back as eight years ago, continues to be felt on daily in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe new materials have been a wonderful addition. The students were immediately drawn to the sensory toys, particularly the hourglass-shaped ones. One student, \"Greg\", finds them invaluable for self-regulation.

We've even seen instances of peer-to-peer support, with students comforting each other using the animals.\r\n\r\nThe play ice cream comes have also proven to be a versatile resource, enriching both imaginative play and opportunities for learning about sharing and engaging with our sensory materials.
