For daily use, we have some basic items such as water beads, kinetic sand, play dough and other things she can dig her hands into. Since Ryley has a hard time sitting, we often use the Wiggle Seat or Balance Ball Chair to keep her moving and help her to focus on homework.

When out and about, we tend to pack Fidget Marble Maze in our travel bag. The maze folds up nicely and it could be used anywhere. We keep our Weighted Neck Pillow in the car for extra sensory input during the ride. We also keep a pair of noise cancelling headphones at home and an extra pair in the car just in case.

We keep our newest and favorite sensory tool close by, which is our Write-N-Chill. This writable weighted lap pad is fun and very useful. Ryley can relax with its deep touch pressure while draw on it using the water pen.

If you have a hard time finding the right sensory toy, the easiest way is to start with identifying your child's needs and what makes them happy. If you are looking for ideas and new sensory tools to try, check out our store.
