Looking for sensory bits for my autistic son

Hi,
I'm looking for a little guidance, and suggestions, for my 4 year old autistic son.
We would like to get him sensory bits for his room, but we are unsure where to start

If he likes switches, latches and keeping his hands busy, things like busy boards are good, and they can be home made. Local Scrap stores are good places to visit too if you wanted to look at creating a den or tent space and they often have lots of different materials, and they are quite inspiring for creating sensory spaces on a budget. I work for Scope Activities for All in Leeds and when we have sometimes attended outdoor children's events, the biggest hit has been a paddling pool full of balls, some drums and a bubble machine, and only some children have been drawn towards the lights and bubble tube. I hope you manage to get some ideas.
