At Pooja and Daughters, we know that every child experiences the world differently, and for the kids on the autism spectrum, touch and movement often play a huge role in how they feel calm, focused, and connected to their surroundings. Our feet sensory mat is made from several different textures and a child can walk, stand or sit on one texture, providing them with a variety of sensations to explore. This type of tactile stimulation is not just fun for kids with autism, it can also be very effective in helping to calm them down during times of over-stimulation, stimulate their senses when they’re feeling under-responsive, and develop increased body-awareness over time. This type of sensory play through the feet can be chosen by parents and occupational therapists working with sensory processing challenges, as the feet contain a multitude of nerve endings and are one of the best places to provide gentle and controlled sensory input. Unlike a one-size-fits-all product, our feet mat for kids offers a variety of texture choices, so you can select 5 textures, 10 textures, 15 textures or 20 textures (based on your child’s response) for your mat to grow with your child. This mat can be used at home to help children desensitize during relaxation time, in a therapy room, or in a special education classroom, allowing the child to explore sensory play at his or her own speed, in his or her own style. At Pooja and Daughters, we take great care to make each mat so that this is not just a toy but a small, useful piece of the child’s sensory diet in everyday life.
