Sensory Kits
What's a Sensory Kit?
A sensory kit is a collection of items that can help with anxiety and sensory overload, or can create a fun sensory experience
In our sensory box, we can include things like fidget toys, bubbles, stress balls, ear plugs, and more.
For this event, we will be decorating our boxes and picking out our favorite items to put in the box.
No need to bring anything but yourself, all materials will be provided!
It is not required to follow specific instructions or create your kit in a specific way. Feel free to come by, experiment, meet some new people and have fun.
