Sensory

Bilibo is a new award-winning toy which stimulates childrens' imaginations as they explore the many ways they can have fun with this simple and ingenious toy. The Bilibo can be used to sit in, on, under, climb on, be a turtle shell, a bucket, or a hat. A bit like watching the delight children get from playing with a cardboard box, with the added benefits to postural control, balance, and motor planning. Please email us directly if you would like a particular colour - available in red, blue, green, orange, pink, yellow.

Great fiddly toy or brain challenge! Bright coloured elastic strings that can be pulled and interchanged. All strings can be interchanged with each other without creating a knot. 

Bubber feels light and fluffy, it even floats on water. Great for sensory play. Never dries out and doesnt leave residue. Even floats on water!

Weighted vests work by providing children with sensory processing difficulties with the deep pressure sensory input that they need to calm and organise themselves. This type of ongoing sensory input can make all the difference for some children. We recommend consulting with an Occupational Therapist to determine if this is an appropriate strategy for your child.

The vests are available in black, royal and navy blue, pink, and red. When ordering a vest please send us an accompanying email indicating your choice of colour and your child's weight. We make the weights up to 5% of your child's body weight. This is the recommended weight, however some children do better with more weight. In this case you can purchase an extra set of weights - see Calming Vest Weights Set.    All prices include extra weight postage fee.       

Calming Weights are needed to place in the pockets of the calming vest. The pockets are located inside the vest both at the front and the back. The amount of weight needed is determined by your child's weight. Our weighted vests include weights to 5% of your child's body weight contained in 4x double-sewn bags. The weights are steel pellet. Sometimes children do better with a little more, up to 10%. The extra weights simply go in the same pockets inside the vest and can be easily removed as needed. Please send us an accompanying email when ordering to let us know the weight you need.

The HowdaHug seats have been around for a long time for adults, but are newly available to children. They're designed as a recreational/camping chair which rolls up easily for storage. However, they are a fantastic option for kids at mat time! Movement seekers can get that bit of vestibular input they need by rocking. Extra proprioception is provided by the way the seat 'hugs' the body. The HowdaHug is also a very practical way to provide postural support to the child with low muscle tone. The Howdahug seat is also available in a Petite version for children 3 - 5 years. (See Petite Howdahug)

The howdahugs are popular in schools particularly for children with SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), Autism spectrum disorders and Attention Deficit Disorder. 

The Miracle Belt  is a product new to Australia. It provides children with calming deep pressure sensory input in the form of a weighted belt.

Miracle belts are adjustable to fit waist ranges as follows:

MB202 - 40 - 65cm

MB303 - 45 - 70cm

SB404 - 65 - 90cm

 The petite howdahug is the smaller version of the Howdahug seat for children aged 3 -5 years and upto 40lb weight. Fantastic seat for the movement seeking child, particularly at mat time. For further information see Howdahug seats

This kit comes in a kit bag (no longer in the back pack as pictured) and includes a variety of items which will form an excellent start for any 'fidget bag' programme.  For many children with sensory processing issues the provision of sensory experiences is calming and organising.  Children can readily access and manipulate each item.  There is the whatzit, a 'stress ball', theratubing (which can be used to make bracelets, for leg kick-backs, etc), an E-Z Scrub Brush for self stimulation, a stress ball, a stretchy shark, and a cobweb ball.  Lots to explore. The pack also includes information and further activity ideas.

Stretch Eze is a unique individual nylon lycra stretch band which can be used for resistance and stretch exercises. Great for sensory feedback as well as muscle strength. Available in small (lower primary), medium (upper primary) and tall.

The weighted blanket provides children with calming, deep pressure sensory input. Many parents have found this to be an effective strategy to help their child settle to sleep. The weight is provided through evenly distributed pockets of steel pellets, quilted into place. The quilts are available in a choice of 4 colours or you can send your child's current dooner cover. An extra weight freight charge is included in the pricing. 

There's a challenge to get the wurm through the apple which requires logic and problem solving skills. An additional bonus is this is an ideal fidget toy.
