Regular sensory breaks

There are so many benefits of sensory play. Making time for regular sensory breaks can help increase motivation and progress. Use this Easter sensory bin during table sessions, in the classroom or during therapy sessions.

Build vocabulary skills

Teach your child or students new vocabulary by picking up each item and asking your little one to name it.

Social interaction

Use this box to teach turn taking by having your little learner find an item and pick it up with the clothespin and then take your turn and pick up an item.

By doing this, the child you are working with learns to wait, pay attention to social cues and take turns.

Build receptive language skills

Build your child or students’ receptive language skills by asking him to find a specific item, such as “duck”, and pick it up with the clothespin.
