These Sensory Ladybird Counting Cushions combine tactile comfort with engaging educational features, making them ideal for sensory learning spaces. Designed to captivate children’s attention, these cushions offer a variety of benefits for both indoor and outdoor use.
Soft, Tactile Materials for Sensory Exploration
Crafted from superior-quality plush polyester, each cushion features varying soft textures that encourage sensory exploration. These textures not only provide a calming sensory experience but also help children, particularly those with SEN, develop cognitive skills such as memory and problem-solving. Engaging with different materials further supports fine motor skill development.
Fidget-Friendly Antennae
The ladybirds’ antennae double as a fidget aid, offering a soothing activity for children to reduce stress and anxiety. Fidget aids can help improve focus and concentration, especially for children with SEN, by giving their hands something to engage with during learning activities.
Supporting Numeracy and Communication
Each cushion features a numbered spot ranging from 1 to 12, making them perfect for reinforcing basic numeracy skills. Use the cushions for group activities like matching numbers to cards or counting games to promote collaboration, communication, and language development alongside foundational maths skills.
Versatile for Indoor and Outdoor Learning
Durable and versatile, these cushions are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Outdoor learning, combined with fresh air, has been shown to improve children’s mental health, increase focus, and encourage an appreciation for the natural world.
Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
For busy childcare settings and classrooms, the cushion covers are fully removable and machine washable at 30°C, ensuring they remain hygienic and easy to clean.
A Resource for Every Child
These sensory ladybird cushions are designed to be inclusive, supporting children with and without SEN. Their open-ended nature fosters creativity, collaboration, and a sense of belonging in all learners. The soft textures and sensory design help reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing, making them a valuable addition to any learning environment.
