Sensory Play Resources, Equipment and Training
Sensory engagement is essential to children's development, wellbeing and learning. For the last 10 years we've made it our business specialising in providing a stimulating range of sensory resources and equipment for babies, toddlers and primary age children as well as special educational needs. Our handmade, ethical and award-winning Treasure Baskets, Stacking Hoops and heuristic play resources provide early sensory stimulation and a sensory education, not to mention being unique and ethical too as many are made in the UK by adults with physical and learning disabilities.
Our resources are also suitable for children and adults with sensory processing, physical, emotional or behavioral difficulties, providing proprioceptive feedback, calming relief or acting as self-regulation and fidget tools. See our Twitter feed for the latest news, information and ideas, or why not have a look at our Sensory Toys Catalogue here brimming with tried and tested Sensory Toys and equipment, carefully selected by author, Play Therapist and sensory engagement specialist Sue Gascoyne.
Safety is paramount which is why we go to the trouble and expense of offering EN71 and REACH certified resources. All our handmade and fabric resources are made in the UK and designed and developed by author and award winning trainer Sue Gascoyne, following extensive research and testing. We're proud to work with and support several UK-based centres for Adults with Physical or Learning Difficulties who make many of these resources. If you‘re an advocate of Best of British we think you’ll like what you’ll see!
Fresh from speaking at an international early childhood research conference in Budapest, Sue has also just co-authored a chapter on children's rights and written a chapter on 0-3's physical movement.
