What our customers say

Great for my autistic sensory seeker!

My daughter seeks vestibular and proprioceptive activities to help her calm down when she’s totally overwhelmed. These cards have really helped me with ideas for activities to help her calm down. They are honestly worth every single penny in this house. She’s gone from crashing into walls and furniture and jumping off the dining table to grabbing these cards for safe exercises. Not only do we now have quick easy routines for bedtime or out and about, she’s now using these to learn about the types of movement her body needs. She’s starting to realise “what I need now is a blue card (vestibular) that’s how my body wants to move”. That’s a huge learning milestone and is helping her use the activities for herself to help self regulate. Thank you thank you thank you sensory Sid!

Helpful learning tool for parents and kids

We purchased these as a supplementary tool to use at home in conjunction with ongoing occupational therapy for one of our kids. These cards have been a great way to incorporate sensory practices into daily home life in a fun way.

Get these cards!

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and have had good luck utilizing these cards during treatment sessions. The illustrations/directions on the cards are easy for families to understand and implement themselves at home! Many of these activities are also great for the development of motor skills such as core strength and eye-hand coordination.

We are loving the card set! Simple, easy to understand activities the kids enjoy. So great for grab and go, no prep sensory integration. Perfect for our sensory diet!

Paige

Such an awesome range of activities with so many different options! My kids really enjoyed using them and I keep them on hand for when they need a brain break from school.

Angela

This card set is great and easy to use in multiple settings such as clinics, schools, and in the home. It provides simple, fun and easy ways to get foundational sensory input and movement into kids with and without sensory needs. I love that it explains the purpose, and provides additional activity ideas as well. So engaging and fun!

Dalya

I love these cards! I brought them to an outpatient pediatric clinic I am doing fieldwork at as an occupational therapy student. They are great visuals for kids to easily follow and they make components of a sensory diet fun, engaging and simple to understand for kiddos! I highly recommend!

SiSi

This card set is an amazing tool and a fun game. My son loves the freedom of being able to choose a card to do a fun activity, and I love that it helps him with Sensory integration. We make a game out of it. The cards are easy for us both to understand and follow. It helps me remember the tools available and how to use them!

Andrea

This card set is great. It’s full of a lot of great ideas that have been compiled and are easily accessible.

Rachael

This was just what we needed to begin my son’s sensory diet at home, and my son is enjoying the activities that we can do together.

Hope

The cards are fabulous. So much so I ordered a 2nd set for my boy’s school.

  • How to Explain SPD to Your Family

    Trying to explain SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) to family and friends can be a big challenge. One comment I heard over and over in the clinic from parents was that they were struggling to get family members and friends to understand their child’s sensory needs. One mom in particular stands out. She dove headfirst into…

  • Understanding Sensory Seeking: What It Looks Like Across 7 Sensory Systems

    Sensory seeking can show up in many different ways—and it’s more common than you might think. Every person has eight sensory systems, and someone may crave (or “seek”) input from all of them, or just one or two. Today, we’re going to focus on seven of these systems and explore what sensory seeking behavior might…
