Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Kids – Sensory Edition

Does your child struggle to tie their shoes? If so, these are definitely a must-have. It's common for kids with fine motor challenges to have difficulty tying their shoes.

The older kids get, the harder it is to find Velcro sneakers. Hickies are the perfect solution.   Once their shoes are laced with Hickies, they slip on and off thanks to the elasticity of the laces. And, they can’t come untied.

Plus for only 10 bucks, they are definitely stocking stuffer worthy. 

They were a definite game changer for us and we’re stocking up on a few more sets this Christmas.

These old-school toys are amazing and simple visual stim toys.  Gaze inside and twist the bottom to watch a rainbow of colors make a variety of geometric patterns. These make a great stocking stuffer or a small gift!

These toothbrushes are designed to brush all sides of the teeth at the same time. Why does this matter? Some kids with sensory challenges are extra sensitive around the gum line and struggle with tooth brushing.

This toothbrush gets the job done faster, and it's more efficient for younger kids. They can brush their teeth independently and you don't have to worry that they're missing the backs/sides of their teeth.

90 fun and physical commands, 26 unique twinkling light shows, and a variety of musical styles. Helps kids exercise their bodies, creativity, and listening skills. Also helps enrich vocabulary.

These socks are completely seamless. The way the fabric is weaved makes them soft and snug. They don't slip down but they don't leave marks around the ankles either. There is no heel so they fit longer.

If your child is sensitive to the seams along their toes and ankles, these seamless socks are the solution.

This is a set of three textured silicone balls. Each ball has two different textures on it, which means there are 6 textures in total. These are a great tactile sensory toy appropriate for any age.

The balls also have small chimes inside so they make noise when shaken or rolled.

Slime has got to be one of the most popular sensory items out there right now. There are thousands of variations out there and no two slimes are quite the same.

This mermaid "butter" slime is not sticky like others. It doesn't break while you're stretching it. Squeeze, roll, pull, etc.

By the way, it's also scented!
