Sensory trays are a fantastic way to help children regulate regardless of age. A single tray can be made up or a selection of different trays (wet, dry,hard, soft etc). Plastic animals can be added for story telling, or funnels, sieves, plastic cups and spoons are also useful for exploring. These can be made in any plastic container such as a washing up bowl or shallow tray. The ‘really useful box’ brand are great as they come in different sizes with lids. You can purchase a 10-litre tray here.
