Sensory Room Shopping

I have been building up equipment slowly over the years.  I try to make as many homemade sensory games and gross motor activities as possible and Pinterest, facebook and blogs have been an excellent resource for this but every so often other bits and pieces do have ot be bought and most pediatric OT toys and equipment don't tend to be in the Holiday sales.

Instead of hitting the christmas sales in the big shopping centres I decided to spend the morning looking at reviews of tools and toys I can use in the room that will become our sensory room/ sensory circuit room.

In a few hours I managed to spend £50 on what seems to be very little.  On the bright side I will hopefully be able to out up a review of what I bought.

My haul includes:
1x Large fidget toy kit (contains around 15 fidgets) £14.99
100 glow sticks with 100 connectors £5.69
2x rolls of blackboard adhesive foil 45cmx200cm £6.90 per roll
 I've bought a roll of this before for the kitchen for writing meal plans and daily routines and it is fantastic and now I plan to put it along a long wall in the sensory room for Handwriting practice for all the children and of course drawing which is what my daughter does to relax.



I also bought a book by Dr. Eva Orsmond 'The last diet' which is £9.00 To get the momentum going for the new year

As we don't live in the UK postage and packaging from amazon.co.uk is 6.67 for this order.

I did want to order mini bean bags for throwing and catching and I found 12 for £8 but unfortunately I had to cancel the order as P&P was £15.  If anyone knows where I can get them in Ireland for a similar price but without the P&P cost I would love to hear!!

One thing I will be in search of in the sales is a new mini trampoline. Ours has definitely done it's time.
