P's & Q's are fun new exercisers for practicing biting and chewing skills! Pack them in your treatment tool-chest as a delightful alternative tool for young patients and older patients alike.

P's & Q's are made of the same FDA compliant material as all our Chewy Tubes and offer a safe, non-toxic durable surface for biting and chewing activities. They are latex-free and do not contain PVC or phthalates.

P's and Q's are solid rather than tubular so they offer a firmer surface for biting than the red or yellow Chewy Tubes. Young patients enjoy grasping the P with their newly developing fine motor skills. The bitable stem of the P reaches back into the molar region sending appropriate proprioceptive input into the TMJ as the patient practices biting. Babies enjoy the Q extension for tongue exploration. For larger jaws, the larger Q offers a firm bilateral surface for jaw closure activities.

Chewy Tubes® are an innovative oral motor device designed to provide a resilient, non-food, chewable surface for practicing biting and chewing skills to children and adults.

Therapists may select Chewy Tubes to use with individuals who exhibit a lot of oral motor tendencies, are developing oral motor skills, or for jaw rehab.

Children as young as 10 months enjoy the tactile and proprioceptive input offered by biting on these products.

SensoryCritters.com weighted blankets are the only one of its kind. Our weighted blankets have been being produced since July 05' and are now in 50 states and 15 countries. These weighted blankets are a tradmark of SensoryCritters.com as we create your weighted blanket with one of two prints our sea life or jungle print which have proven to be our number one sellers across the world. Early in our business we did offer any fabric parents and children wanted. Due to our volume of blankets shipped each week on an average of 35 to 40 and the number of requests are for either the sea life or the jungle we chose to sell these two prints.

Parents have stated that the sea life which has a blue background for the sealife children are very comforted by the color and the print. Other parents state that their children love the animals and the muted colors but yet provide a beautiful blanket that they are proud to take anywhere they go.SensoryCritters.com's weighted blankets are sewn together with triple stitching for extra durability for years of wear and tear. Only quality fabric is used when a weighted blanket is created.

SensoryCritters.com understands having a weighted blanket provides comfort and a calming sense but we make them beautiful and durable so you and your children can proudly take them anywhere you go.Ask our parents who have had to pack a suitcase for nothing but the weighted blanket; or the parents who ordered a smaller one because they were tired of the twin blanket being drug throughout the house and into the car with them. We have had letters from grandparents praising the blankets for helping their grandchildren have calm visits and sleeping through the nights.

SensoryCritters.com weighted blankets are created with a special heavy duty cotton weight that has been tested and doesn’t lose weight after being washing day in and day out for years and is sewn directly into the actual blanket to create a safe, weight effective, cost effective, wash and dry proprioception product that does not require removing in order to care for it. The amount of weight when choosing a quilted or weighted blanket is based at 10% of the person’s weight plus 1 pound. Your order will arrive within 3-5 days after payment received. Sizes are approximate.

size 50” x 75” weight 8 to 9 pounds

Guide: Please contact your O.T. to determine the proper size for your purchase. A rule in weighted products: 10% of the body weight plus 1 pound. A person weighing 100 pounds would need a 10 pound blanket plus 1 pound = 11 pound or bigger which is our full size blanket. SensoryCritters.com's owners are not therapists and always suggest speaking with your therapist prior to purchasing. Some times a lighter blanket is needed rather than a heavier one again a reason to contact your O.T. Your welcome to contact us if you have any other questions at 1-866-749-2737.

Original Time Timer (8" Silent)


The size of the Original Time Timer (8" square) makes it our most versatile product for both individual and group applications. This classroom-tested timer comes with a base for free standing operation, or it may be wall hung.

Product Description: A great self-monitoring traffic light sound meter! This unique 17 1/8” traffic light is perfect for teachers to monitor noise levels in the classroom. The Yacker Tracker looks like a genuine stoplight and can stand on its own or be wall mounted; it’s computerized with an adjustable sound level meter (effective from 40 dB to 120dB). The teacher sets the sound level and the green light stays lit until noise in the room goes beyond the set level, then the green light goes off and the light flashes yellow. When the noise level reaches 20 dB above set level the red light and siren sound come on. The user has the option of turning the siren sound off, which also makes this a great visual aid for hearing impaired students. Drama departments can incorporate this unit as a quiet signal to alert backstage cast members of inappropriate off stage noise.

Educational Aim: To provide a visual signal of too much noise for children and students of all age levels.

Sales Attributes: The green light stays lit until noise goes above the set level. The green light then goes off and a flashing yellow light comes on as a warning when noise is above set level. When the sound level reaches 15 decibels above set level, the red light and a siren come on as a warning. Siren feature may be turned off. Decibel level may be set from 50 to 110. Perfect for K-12 classroom teachers to use with their students. Acceptable levels of noise can be adjusted for quiet activities or louder for group work. Nursery schools with hearing impaired students can use the unit as a visual signal. Drama departments can incorporate this unit as a quiet signal to alert backstage cast members of inappropriate offstage noise.

Security Scissors are unique plastic scissors that only cut paper! With their blunt end and light weight, they're ideal for those with not-so-agile cutting skills...or for your “scissors-happy” little friends who lost the paper you gave them, but managed to find their neighbor’s sleeve! Ideal for developmental ages 3 and up.

Finally, a simple built-in one-way straw! Place the Valve in the bottom of a clear flexible straw. Use the specially designed clear plastic cup and flexible lid for drinking. The liquid moves up the straw when the plastic lid is pressed or when the person takes a sip. The valve keeps the straw full of liquid. This reduces the amount of energy needed to bring liquid into the mouth. Children can learn to drink with greater control of the liquid flow. The lid stabilizes the straw for easier oral-motor control. The optional mouthpiece is placed on the top of the straw to assist with lip closure and to direct fluid into the front of the mouth. The Sip-Tip Cup includes: the cup, lid, valve and 10 plastic straws.Clear plastic straws, replacement valves and mouthpieces are available separately.

Many kids have some form of SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), but who can help them overcome their daily struggles? Wait! They can help themselves!

Lynda Farrington Wilson, along with Tyler and some delightful illustrations, helps kids help themselves through daily life like no one has before with some great everyday tips and techniques.

Squirmy Wormy is a wonderful little children's book about a boy named Tyler, who has autism and SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder). Together with Tyler, the reader learns about SPD, and what everyday easy therapys he can do by himself feel better. For instance: "I feel like running really fast, run run run! Maybe I just need a s-q-u-e-e-z-e between the couch cushions like a hot dog. Whew! I feel better."

Endorsed by Dr. Temple Grandin, this book is sure to help many children, who perhaps previously did not even know they had SPD, lead calmer, richer lives.

Squirmy Wormy is a cute and funny picture book that will help elementary school children understand sensory problems.

Visual Input: Calming or Stimulating?

Consider the typical classroom and everything that happens from a visual perspective. See if you can sense the difference between these two environments.

1- Natural Light vs. Fluorescent light

2 - Solid Carpet vs. Loudly patterned carpet

3- Cool colors vs. "loudly" patterned carpet

4- Bulletin board space vs. paper-cluttered space

The first environment is more calming to those who are easily over-stimulated by visual input.

The second environment is an exciting space to the majority of children, but may require relaxation stations, concentration stations, visual calmers to accommodate children who are easily over-stimulated by visual input. source Abilitations

Goodenoughs Get in Sync

Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA

This delightfully illustrated "chapter book," geared for eight-to-twelve-year-olds, tells the charming tale of five family members and their naughty dog (each with a different sensory processing challenge) and how they get in sync after a tough day. The book is designed with the action of the story in larger print for younger readers to read or hear.

Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Integration Issues (Paperback)

by Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L and Nancy Peske

Foreword by Temple Grandin

In all, the new edition of Raising a Sensory Smart Child is the single most important book for anyone who parents, teaches, works with, or simply cares about a child with sensory issues.

Now the most comprehensive guide to sensory processing challenges is more detailed and useful than ever. Loved and celebrated by parents, teachers, therapists, pediatricians and others, the new, expanded edition of Raising a Sensory Smart Child is a must-have book for anyone who cares about a child with sensory issues.

Coauthored by a pediatric occupational therapist (OT) and the mother of a child with sensory processing disorder (SPD), the expanded and updated edition of Raising A Sensory Smart Child is more valuable than ever. As in the past, this “bible” of sensory processing provides:

• Easy-to-follow information on how the senses work together
• How and where to get the very best professional help
• “Sensory diet” activities that meet a child’s needs at home and school, including new ideas for babies, kids, teens, adults, and families
• Practical solutions for daily challenges such as brushing teeth, dressing, and picky eating plus new solutions for going to the doctor, dentist, family gatherings, parties, riding in a car, and more
• “Sensory smart” parenting strategies and how to advocate for your child at school
• New information on the special challenges of helping children on the autism spectrum with sensory issues
• Complementary therapies, resources, helpful Web sites and much more!

Sensory issues affect all kinds of children—from those with developmental delays, attention problems, or autism spectrum disorders, to those without any other issues. Raising A Sensory Smart Child was coauthored by a pediatric occupational therapist and the mother of a child with sensory processing challenges to provide you with insights, advice, and practical solutions for everyday challenges at home, at school, and in the community.

Sensory integration refers to how a person registers, processes, and uses all the various sensations coming from within the body and the environment. We usually think of the senses as separate channels of information, but they actually work together to give us a reliable picture of the world and our place in it. For instance, right now your senses are working together to read this. You hear background sounds and feel clothing, shoes, and the chair beneath you. You easily keep yourself in a seated position. You see letters on the computer screen. All your senses are integrated. Without conscious effort, you are filtering out sensations that are not important so you can get meaning out of what you are reading.

If you occasionally lose focus on what you’re doing because the clothing label in your shirt annoys you, you have a mild sensory issue. If you stop reading because you keep sliding off your chair, look up from the computer every time you hear a car outside, feel like your shirt is strangling you, and get dizzy because the letters seem to pulsate, you’re experiencing sensory processing disorder–also known as sensory integration dysfunction (SID).

While we all have sensory preferences and tolerances, SI dysfunction can significantly interfere with play, learning, and social interactions. It’s extremely useful to understand how this works and what can be done to help if you or a child you care about has sensory integration issues.

Praise for Raising a Sensory Smart Child

“Raising a Sensory Smart Child is a comprehensive, informative, and practical book for parents. The authors explain sensory integration and sensory integration dysfunction in a way that parents can understand. They then provide very practical, hands-on examples for helping the child at home, in school, and in other settings. This is a must read for all parents who have children with sensory integration issues.”

—Larry B. Silver, M.D., author of The Misunderstood Child

“At last, here are the insights and answers parents have been searching for.”

—Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures

“Because most of us never experience anything quite like it, sensory integration disorder can be difficult to conceive, understand, or recognize. Lindsey Biel and Nancy Peske illuminate the mysteries of sensory integration disorder in clear, practical terms. Both parents and teachers will find a wealth of insight and advice on helping our wonderful—though sometimes challenging-kids.”

—Patty Romanowski Bashe, M.S.Ed., Executive Director, The David Center
Co-author of The O.A.S.I.S. Guide to Asperger Syndrome

Lindsey Biel and Nancy Peske combine a professional and personal approach in creating a knowledgeable and supportive guide for parents. In a very readable manner they explain complex information and at the same time provide practical strategies that families can really use.

—Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, author of Raising Your Spirited Child

“Raising a Sensory Smart Child is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and pediatricians who’d like to know more about sensory integration dysfunction.”

—Adoptive Families magazine

“This is the best book out there for explaining and treating symptoms of sensory processing / modulation disorders. Also, since it was published recently, it contains the most up-to-date information.”
