Description
The Sensory Pencil Case is a thoughtfully designed educational tool that serves dual purposes: it functions as a conventional pencil case while providing sensory stimulation for children. This makes it an excellent aid for children with Autism or those who benefit from sensory support.
Key Features:
-
Sensory Stimulation: Made with various textured fabrics such as fleece, fur, silk, and cord, the pencil case offers a rich tactile experience to help children focus and engage better in class.
-
Inclusive Design: Created by an Assistant SENCO and a parent of a child with Autism, this pencil case is designed to be functional and discreet. It looks like a regular pencil case so students won't feel singled out.
-
Fidget Aid: The textured fabrics provide a healthy and non-disruptive outlet for children who need to fidget as a form of self-regulation.
-
Universal Appeal: This pencil case's cool, neutral, and appealing design makes it suitable for both boys and girls.
-
Practical Dimensions: At 20 cm long and 13 cm wide, the pencil case is adequately sized to hold a variety of school supplies, from pencils and erasers to small notepads.
-
Educational and Therapeutic: Beyond holding writing instruments, the case is a therapeutic tool that can be part of a broader sensory diet, making it an excellent choice for Special Educational Needs settings.
The Sensory Pencil Case is a brilliant example of how everyday objects can be adapted to serve additional needs without losing their primary function. Its sensory features make it a valuable asset for children who can benefit from tactile stimuli, all while seamlessly blending into the classroom environment.
