🐴🌾 Horse Sensory Tray 🌾🐴

This tray was all about horses and farmyard fun! We used a mix of rice, black beans, and seeds to create a textured base, then added fences, water dishes, greenery, and of course, lots of horses.

The children enjoyed setting up paddocks, feeding the animals, and creating their own little horse adventures. A lovely mix of imaginative play and sensory exploration.

✨ Resource Share: Balloons ✨

Balloons are a simple, affordable resource we use often at Embrace because they offer so many opportunities for fun, playful learning.

Here are a few ways we’ve used balloons recently:

Switching Hands
We ask children to swap hands each time they tap the balloon. This helps with coordination, body awareness, and practising using both sides of the body.

Counting Hits
Children count how many taps they can do before the balloon touches the ground. Great for early counting, focus, and keeping attention on the task.

Following Instructions
Use simple directions like “tap it high,” “tap it low,” or “tap it with your elbow.” This supports listening, comprehension, and flexible thinking.

Prediction
Before tapping, ask “Where do you think it will land?” or “Will it go fast or slow?” This builds early prediction and problem-solving skills.

Have balloons at home? Try these ideas:

Fast vs Slow – Explore tapping the balloon quickly, then slowly, and talk about how the movement changes.

Body Part Taps – Choose a body part (knee, elbow, hand) and see who can tap the balloon using that part.

Colour Calls – If you have multiple balloons, call out a colour and try to tap only that one

We’ve just added a new freebie to our Teachers Pay Teachers store: an Affirmation Memory Game designed to support children (and adults) in developing positive self talk.

We’ve used versions of this in sessions to gently introduce affirmations in a way that feels playful, visual, and meaningful.

You can download it now via the link in our bio or here https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/embrace-education-services

We hope it brings something valuable to your home, clinic or classroom.

✨ Celebration Post ✨

This little learner joined us last term and has brought so much joy to our sessions.

As our youngest group member, she has been incredibly brave getting to know new children and exploring our clinic. We’ve especially loved watching her chat with the puppets and practise her tricks on the equipment.

We love seeing her grow in confidence and can’t wait to welcome her each week.

We often expect children to learn, listen, and manage big feelings before their bodies and minds are ready.

But meaningful learning cannot happen on a body that feels unsafe or overwhelmed. Before children can take in new information or build new skills, they first need to feel calm, connected, and supported.

When we prioritise a settled nervous system, everything else has a solid base to grow from.

If things feel wobbly at the top, whether it's behaviour, schoolwork, or emotions, it is a sign to look a little deeper.

Our favourite part of the school holidays is running our Sensory Groups!

Each day we get to transform Embrace into something new, from enchanted forests to busy construction sites, alien ooze labs, spy school missions, and underwater worlds.

This video is just a little snippet of the fun (and chaos) you would have seen us carrying through the door these holidays!

You deserve to be present without needing to hide, to feel safe without needing to shrink, and to be heard without having to fight for it.

You don’t have to prove that you belong.
You already do.

To our families, your presence changes our space in quiet, meaningful ways. We’re better for having you here.

🏕️🔥 Camping Sensory Tray 🔥🏕️

This tray brought the cosy feel of camping into our Holiday Sensory Group. With sand, split peas, rocks, felt animals, and a little tent and campfire setup, it was the perfect invitation for slow play and storytelling.

We might just have to bring this one back again! 🌲🐻

When you walk through the doors at Embrace, you don’t need to be anyone other than yourself. This is a space for children, parents, and professionals to feel safe, supported, and understood.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to say the right thing or know exactly what to do. You can take things at your own pace, ask for support, or just be present in the way that feels right for you. You can bring what helps you feel comfortable, whether that’s a warm drink, a familiar toy, a fidget or a friend.

Embrace is built to be a place where people can simply exist and feel safe doing so.

We are so lucky to work with this little learner and have loved having her join us for our Holiday Sensory Groups.

Here she is in her secret disguise for our spy-themed group!

We’ve really enjoyed seeing the creative ways she chooses to play and the lovely moments she’s shared with her peers. She brings such a fun energy to the group, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
