Product Information

Multi-Purpose Sensory Diet Cards – Sensory Sid Activity Cards are designed to be an essential tool for families, caregivers, therapists, clinicians, special educators, and school districts looking to improve sensory processing skills in children. With engaging illustrations and easy-to-follow instructions, our cards provide valuable guidance and make sensory activities fun for everyone involved.

There are lots of opportunities in making these to be as creative as you like and use all different materials or whatever you happen to have in the house. This is how we made ours… When kids move through the colorful path, they are challenged to hop, jump, skip, tip toe, turn, spin, push, etc. All of these movements incorporate gross motor skills and sensory systems of vision, vestibular, and proprioceptive senses. You can read more here about heavy work of gross motor skills and sensory processing. What are Sensory Stations? When it comes to buying sensory cards for babies, there are a few important factors to consider to ensure you choose the best product for your little one. Here are some key features to look for: MaterialA sensory circuit is an intervention technique which involves a sequence of physical activities, contributing to sensory processing. The circuits allow children to reach a level of alertness that'll help them to concentrate throughout the day. They may be incorporated into a child's sensory diet, but they can also be used for all children who might need to feel calm, organised, and alert before learning begins. Some schools might complete sensory circuits in the morning, and others may choose a time that best suits their class. They can also be used at home, and can be adapted to the equipment you have to hand.

Shape Recognition: Alongside colours, sensory cards often feature simple shapes. Point out and describe these shapes to your baby, helping them build early shape recognition skills. Sensory cards should have a variety of features that stimulate your baby's senses, such as different textures, colours, and sounds. Look for cards with a range of textures, from soft and fuzzy to rough and bumpy. Cards with bright colours and bold patterns can also be visually stimulating for babies. Durability Or, maybe, “Kayla doesn’t have a total meltdown when she goes into her sensory tent for 15 minutes when she gets home from school.” Then whenever you do offer the sensory diet cards, there are a couple of caveats you want to follow:You could either keep these posters on the wall in your classroom, so that you can use them regularly for things like sensory breaks in the classroom. Or, you could laminate some cards and pop them into your P.E cupboard or sports hall, so that everyone can use them when needed. The high contrast images are perfect for developing a baby's visual skills and keeping them engaged. PE Circuit Station Display Posters - These circuit posters will make lovely additions to your classroom or P.E hall displays. The visual aids can help children to understand how they can match the different movements. Sensory circuits can be used throughout the day, in the classroom or at home, individually or in groups. They are a sequence of physical activities that are either alerting, organising or calming. The aim is to ensure the sensory system is running correctly so your learners can successfully take part in activities in the classroom or whatever is coming up next in the day.

Visual Stimulation during Feeding: Use the sensory cards during feeding times to capture your baby's attention and make mealtimes more enjoyable. The next sensory activity in this DIY sensory path is a frog hop activity. Kids can hop like a frog and engage proprioceptive input as they hop up and down. The printable is open-ended so you can ask kids to complete as many from hops as you like. The truth is, he knew better than anyone what sensory input really helped him. In fact, all of the jumping up, wiggling on his seat, and tapping his toes was his attempt to get it. Transition Aid: Sensory cards can help your newborn transition between different activities, providing a moment of visual engagement and distraction when needed.

Let us help you

The first one we made was using different coloured felt. We cut the felt into circles and glued them on securely It’s also very important to let children select which card they’d like to use from a smaller selection of 2-5 cards that you’ve narrowed down. Offer whenever the need arises. This will vary from day to day. Some days you may offer 3 different times, other’s it isn’t needed once. Attention-Capturing: High-contrast patterns grab a newborn's attention and keep them engaged. This visual engagement is a stepping stone to improving their ability to focus and concentrate as they grow. Stimulating Conversations: Describe the patterns on the cards to your baby. This not only aids their visual development but also introduces them to language and the sound of your voice.

So besides promoting independence and teaching our kids to advocate for their needs, we’re also learning more about what works for them. Even the youngest of children will eventually walk up to the fridge and pull off a sensory diet card that’s been turned into magnet for easy use. Having simple pictures on the sensory diet activities on the card is very important so that children that are non-verbal or aren’t reading yet can relate to what they’re choosing.Flax Fun - Seeds can be put in a big bowl, to play with dry, or boiled into a gelatinous, gooey mess.
