Helping Children Meet Their Full Potential Faster
If you are looking to gift a child with ASD a toy that will stimulate their senses and keep them happy, we have a suggested list of toys and gifts for you. These toys will keep the young ones busy and sharpen their skills, which will hold them in good stead as they prepare for life ahead.
Train set: Children are fascinated with trains. They help children with categories, and the concept of time is better understood with train timetables. Storytelling focuses on the train and its passengers, which can lead to open-ended storytelling, such as stories of each passenger being created.
Tactile building blocks: They are great gifts for children. They can be used in countless ways. They sharpen motor skills. Their texture is helpful in tactile stimuli.
Play foam—Nontoxic molding foam is a hit with kids. It can be rolled or shaped into any shape, achieving tactile stimulation. Play foam is an ideal sensory toy for special needs children, boosting motor skills and creativity.
Pogo jumper: ideal for children over 5. Many kids on the spectrum have an over- or under-sensitive vestibular system, which deals with balance and coordinating movement. A child-friendly pogo stick can be added to your toy or gift list for a child who likes movement such as bouncing or rocking.
Scented bubbles stimulate the sensory organs, such as the eyes and nose. If you have a child who is sensitive to smells, this is a good way to introduce them to various positive fragrances.
Weighted stuff toys—such a toy allows the kid to relax and focus on body and mind. Stroking the toy for further tactile input lowers stress levels in the child. It is ideal for a 3 or older child.
Sensory pouches—The bag contains items that stimulate the senses thanks to their texture. It has pillows and patches with different textures, such as smooth and rough.
Fidget noodles—Play with these different-colored tubes. One toy exposes children to both auditory and tactile stimulation. The noodles can be stretched, bent, pushed, or pulled.
Toy bolts and nuts are cool gifts for kids. They aid in improving motor skills and open-ended play.
