Emotions Flash Cards with Coping Strategies (24 Cards)
These are specialized cards that visually convey emotions to children and offer coping methods, making it valuable in diverse therapy settings.
Explore this topic →Calm Corner Emotions Board (Reusable Velcro)
The Calm Corner Emotions Board is a reusable Velcro board featuring various emotive faces and words. It is used to teach children how to recognize and express different emotions, aiding in emotional regulation and communication.
Explore this topic →Kids LED study desk lamp
A desk lamp changes the lighting around a reading, drawing or table activity. It is an environmental item; its presence alone does not establish a developmental or therapeutic benefit.
Explore this topic →Party horn noisemakers
A party horn is a sound-making celebration item. Noise, detachable parts and items used near the mouth make the exact product and the child’s preferences important. It should not be presented as a treatment for speech delay.
Explore this topic →Foldable hanging paper organiser
A hanging paper organiser gives drawings, worksheets or activity cards a visible place. It can help make an existing routine easier to follow when its height and layout suit the child.
Explore this topic →LED fish ball
The legacy library lists an LED fish ball as a light-up play material. The exact product specification is not available on this page, so its age suitability, construction and intended use need to be checked before choosing it.
Explore this topic →Gift wrapping paper sheets
Wrapping paper can be a craft material for folding, choosing patterns and preparing a gift. An everyday craft has more meaning when the child understands the purpose and has a real choice in it.
Explore this topic →Car seat cushions and child travel safety
A cushion sold with a belt is not evidence that it is an approved child car restraint. For travel, choose a suitable child restraint and follow both its manufacturer’s instructions and the vehicle guidance.
Explore this topic →Reading overlay strips
A reading overlay strip is a coloured or clear guide placed over text. A child may have an individual preference about how a page looks, but a preference does not establish treatment of dyslexia or replace a reading assessment.
Explore this topic →Kids drum set musical toy
A child-sized drum toy offers sound and shared play. A purposeful activity can involve choosing a sound, taking a turn or signalling that the music should stop. The child’s comfort with sound matters.
Explore this topic →Magnetic pen drawing board
A magnetic drawing board uses a stylus to make marks on its surface. It can provide a reusable space for drawing and visual play. The product’s construction and age guidance matter, especially where it contains magnets.
Explore this topic →Swimming ear plugs and nose clips
Swimming ear plugs and nose clips are water-activity accessories. They are not a substitute for water supervision, swimming support or specialist advice about ear health. Their suitability depends on the particular product and child.
Explore this topic →Cross trainer equipment
A cross trainer is exercise equipment involving repeated arm and leg movement. Equipment size, moving parts and the user’s abilities matter. A general product listing cannot establish suitability for a child.
Explore this topic →Toddler flip flops
Flip flops are a type of footwear. Ease of putting them on, fit and suitability for the surface and activity should guide a choice; a colourful design does not make footwear therapeutic.
Explore this topic →LED spinning top
An LED spinning top combines movement and light. Some children may enjoy watching or operating it; others may find it uncomfortable. Choose by the child’s interest and the product’s age and safety information.
Explore this topic →Silicone teething tubes
A teething product is intended for use in the mouth, so the exact manufacturer instructions, age suitability and condition of the item are essential. A catalogue name cannot establish its suitability for feeding or speech therapy.
Explore this topic →Big Smile play material
“Big Smile” is the name used in the legacy material record. The name alone does not reliably identify the object, its construction or its intended use. Confirm the exact item before choosing it for a child.
Explore this topic →Chalk gripper
A chalk gripper is a holder intended to change how chalk is grasped. Whether a grip aid is helpful depends on the task, the child’s comfort and how they use their hands.
Explore this topic →Cotton buds as craft materials
Cotton buds are small household items that may appear in adult-led craft activities. They are not speech therapy devices. Their small size and intended use need to be considered before involving a child.
Explore this topic →Drop Fantasy puzzle game
This record refers to a puzzle game in the materials library. A puzzle activity can involve looking for a match, considering the next move or sharing an activity, depending on the exact game.
Explore this topic →Kids striped swimsuit
A swimsuit is clothing for water activities. Fit, comfort and practical changing routines are more useful considerations than treating the garment itself as a therapy tool.
Explore this topic →Modular storage containers
Storage containers can give toys, school supplies or everyday items a predictable place. A useful storage system should be understandable and physically accessible to the child using it.
Explore this topic →Mouth openers and jaw stretchers
A mouth opener or jaw stretcher is an oral-use device requiring a clearly defined clinical purpose. Do not choose or use one for a child from a general therapy-material listing or a claim that it improves speech.
Explore this topic →Popping toy
A popping toy offers a repeated press-and-release action. A child may enjoy its feel, appearance or sound. Enjoyment is an individual preference and does not by itself establish a therapeutic effect.
