Early childhood students who experience school-day meltdowns, an inability to sit still during circle time, and chaotic transitions between the playground and class may benefit from the self-regulation tools in a sensory tool bag.
The bags are stocked with solutions for movement, deep touch pressure, fidgeting, and oral motor sensory needs. Because each child has a unique sensory system, the sensory tool bags allow you to choose the items and quantities that best suit your student’s needs.
Three age group-specific sensory tool bags are available, including one for early childhood learners, elementary students, and secondary students.
Sensory-Based Intervention Tools for Ages 3 and Up
The early childhood sensory tool bag (recommended for ages 3 and up) features a range of touch and movement options and self-regulation tools to help with quiet and calming.
The Bitty Bottom cushion can help alleviate the wiggles without being disruptive. The Water Play Mat is a sensory play option for very early learners or as an introduction or alternative to those with a touch aversion to full sand and water table play.
At 3 pounds, the weighted Kordy Giraffe makes a great lap buddy during seated activities or to carry as a heavy work transition tool from outside play to the classroom.
Oral exploration is an important progression in developing good oral motor skills for feeding and language skills. But for those children who seem to crave more (or inappropriate) oral input, the tool bag is full of chewies galore!
Options like the Chewlery Star Chew or the Knobby Super Chew Tube allow children the right oral tool to help manage sensory preferences. Best of all, they may also help promote a calming response.
Customized Sensory Processing Tool Kits for Early Childhood
You can customize with all or some of the tools on the list and in the quantities you need, or add your own items from our collection of sensory solutions. When you’re ready to assemble your sensory tool bag, don’t forget the portable tote bag for easy storage!
