Creating a calming and reflective space in an Early Years Classroom is difficult at the best of times with all the noise, bright colours, sounds and distractions. There are so many reasons why it just wouldn’t work but trust me. Once you’ve got at set of the Wooden Sensory Rollers, Wooden Sensory Blocks or Wooden Sensory Cylinders you won’t want to miss the opportunity for children to have that space that includes them and offers time for calm and reflection.
