The Sensory Box is a dynamic therapeutic tool designed to engage and stimulate the senses by providing the user with complete control over the sensory inputs within the environment. This allows the user to customize the space in order to compliment their unique sensory profile. It can be easily transported and set up in any space within a school, a practice or a house, transforming rigid areas into modern, flexible multi-sensory environments, without the commitment of converting a space into a fixed room.
The Sensory Box incorporates various sensory elements, including color-changing lights, sounds, textures, and interactive objects, to create a multisensory experience that supports children and adults with sensory processing difficulties, anxiety or other dysregulation that may be linked to transitions, trauma, learning disabilities, brain injury, mental health challenges, developmental delay or autism.
Sensory play plays an important role in cognitive development and language development besides aiding in motor skills.

Weighted Buddies are uniquely handmade, hypoallergenic, and washable weighted soft toys that have therapeutic value and aid children and adults similarly to weighted blankets. However, unlike weighted blankets, Weighted Buddies are portable, and individuals can take them anywhere. The soft texture provides further comfort.
By activating the touch receptors, a Weighted Buddy can help individuals focus on the deep pressure stimulation of the Weighted Buddy instead of other sensory stimuli from their surroundings. This can provide comfort and relaxation, even in overstimulating situations, resulting in a calm and grounded feeling.
Weighted Buddies come in different weights, textures, and sizes, ranging from 500g to 7kg. The weight of the Weighted Buddy equals 10–15% of the person’s weight, but more anxious people or children prefer a heavier one. However, we suggest the weight not be heavier than 7kg.
Play Sense offers small, intimate playgroups to ensure every child receives the individual attention they need to thrive. With a maximum of six children per group, we form genuine connections that support unique development. They also offer SACE accredited short courses.
Our Play Sense curriculum is built around imaginary play. Imaginary Play plays a crucial role in their overall development. It enhances cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills while fostering creativity and problem-solving abilities. Encouraging and supporting your child's imaginative play can have a lasting positive impact on their growth and development.
Tanya Griesel's Bio:I am a qualified Montessori ECD teacher and have been working with children for over 10 years. I have always had a passion for working with the little ones. I love seeing what they learn and bring to the table each day and how they explore everything around them. Having them learn through PLAY is the best way for them to learn! I love watching how they engage with not only me but with each other through the day and gaining all the various experiences that Play Sense has to offer. I have worked with all ages from 5 years and under and have a great fondness for the little ones especially. Being the stepping stone into their future, helping them build the foundation for the rest of their lives is so special. Acting silly and connecting with the little ones is the best way to spend the day!
