Hi @elaeli24
Welcome to the community. There are a few good suggestions for sensory toys in these two discussions: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/32904/specialist-car-seat-and-sensory-toys

Hope that's useful!

I work in SEN and we use a variety of sensory toys. Lots of our students w ASDs like tangles, which are plastic jointed 'toys' that allow you to move them in a fluid motion. I actually have a couple myself to calm anxiety and I think they're great! You can find their website here: https://www.tanglecreations.com/ . I've bought them on Amazon for no more than a fiver, so they're a nice cheap option. We also use stress balls, bean bags, rubber figurines that you can mould and move, and rubber balls. It depends on the needs of your children (they might prefer other things that are more complex) but they are fairly cheap options that might be worthwhile. Lots of our students use these sort of things for stimming purposes. Hope you find something they benefit from!

I bought the ToyerBee Sensory Fidget Toys package for my nephew, he loves the dinosaur and is demanding at all times and can sit still for hours researching the rest of the toys.

I recommend Fi-gent sensory fidget toys, I bought this set for my younger brother. He can sit for hours and play with it, he loved trying out each one.
