What's Included?
How Do Glitter Tubes Help Children with Autism?
Glitter toys offer a wide range of therapeutic experiences, they aid concentration, improve fine motor skills and contribute to language acquisition. Encouraging children to play with glitter tubes is a also great way to improve their hand-eye coordination.
Helps to Teach Emotional Self-Regulation
By providing an interactive and immersive object that the child can control, glitter tubes help to teach emotional self-regulation. The skills that they learn while using the glitter tube can then be applied to challenging situations, helping to prepare children to be able to control their own emotions when they feel overwhelmed.
Can be Used for Guided Mindfulness Exercises
Using the glitter tube as an analogy for the child's mind can be a particularly effective guided mindfulness exercise. When the child is exposed to an excess of sensory information their thoughts swirl, like the glitter tube when moved, but when the tube is held still and focused on, the glitter gradually settles. Walking children through this visual metaphor can be an eye-opening way of explaining how to calm their own thoughts.
Suitable for Use as a Sensory Fidget Toy
For children with ADHD or sensory processing disorder paying attention for long periods of time can be really difficult. Fidget toys are a great sensory tool for improving focus and retention, helping children to get the most out of their education.
