Early Learning Sensory Tools
26 products
Support calm, focus, and sensory development in little learners with our Early Learning Sensory Tools.
This collection is specially designed for childcare centres, kindergartens, and early educators looking to create nurturing, sensory-friendly spaces for toddlers and preschoolers.
Why It Matters:
Young children are still learning how to regulate their emotions and bodies. Sensory tools can ease transitions, reduce meltdowns, and promote positive play, especially for neurodivergent or highly sensitive children.
How to Use:
Set up a sensory corner, use fidget tools during group time, or provide wearable supports during rest or transitions. These tools are educator-approved, safe for small hands, and designed for daily use in early learning settings.
Laying the Foundations for Sensory Development
The early years are when children begin to understand their bodies, emotions and environment. Sensory tools help educators guide this process through safe, structured play.
Tactile toys, light filters, chewable tools and floor cushions all help young children explore cause and effect, body awareness and emotional signals. These resources build the foundation for future regulation, learning and connection.
In early education, play is not just play. It is the building block for everything that comes next.

Creating Calm in Busy Early Learning Environments
Preschool classrooms are full of energy, sound and movement. While this is part of what makes them exciting, it can also lead to overstimulation. Sensory tools give educators a way to lower the volume, literally and emotionally.
Noise-reducing headphones, soft lighting, tactile paths or visual timers help children stay grounded and better transition between play and rest, indoors and outdoors, group and solo activities.
These strategies build emotional security and help young learners feel safe and supported each day.
Sensory Play with Purpose: Tools That Build School Readiness
School readiness is not just about letters and numbers. It is about the ability to focus, transition, and participate in group routines. Sensory tools give children the chance to build these skills through play.
Fidgets, movement cushions, visual timers or chewable necklaces promote turn taking, attention and self soothing. These habits lead to smoother transitions when children begin formal schooling.
By using sensory tools intentionally, early educators prepare children not just to enter school but to thrive there.
Safe, Durable and Designed for Little Hands
In early education, safety is non-negotiable. Our sensory tools are made without glass or sharp edges, are sealed to prevent leaks, and are designed to withstand curious hands and daily use.
Textured fidgets, liquid timers, and chew-safe tools are all created with both durability and developmental appropriateness in mind. You can use them confidently in group activities or one-on-one support.
We make it easier for educators to deliver sensory support without worry.
Supporting Sensory Differences in the Early Years
Every child engages with the world differently. Some may seek out sensory input, while others avoid it. Recognising these patterns early gives educators the chance to offer the right support.
Using sensory tools like lap weights, textured mats or calming lights can help children regulate in ways that feel natural to them. These adjustments can reduce distress and create more inclusive routines.
Supporting sensory differences early builds confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing that lasts well beyond the early years.
