Sense-ational ASTRA Marketplace!
First of all thanks to all attendees of the Connect Children with Special Needs to Toys and Games on Your Shelves session in Nashville. I hope you’ve had a chance to download the handouts. I welcome any feedback, questions or input you might have on these materials. After the presentation, our focus went to checking out the products from manufacturers and looking for those that might develop special skills. We were not disappointed! One of the categories we felt was well represented in the products we saw was sensory play toys. What is sensory play? The simple answer is that it is play that allows children to focus, explore, engage, activate and possibly be delighted by their five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
