🧨 Tips for a Sensory Supportive 4th of July 🎆

Celebrating the 4th doesn’t have to mean discomfort. For our neurodivergent community and those with sensory sensitivities, here are some simple ways to make Independence Day more inclusive, supportive, and calm.

✨ Have support tools ready:
Noise-reducing headphones, weighted items, fidgets, gum or sour candy, and more can make all the difference.

✨ Talk about what to expect:
Going to a party or event? Prep with discussions around who will be there, food options, loud noises like fireworks, and safe spaces or exits.

✨Pack for the unexpected:
Bring sunscreen, extra clothes, towels, a small first aid kit, food and beverage favorites, and anything that may help support the day.

✨Manage expectations before:
Fireworks can be both exciting and frightening. Talk about safety, who can light them, and how close you should get. Discuss how long you’ll be gone and anything else that will support transitions, safety, and emotions.

🧠 Sensory-friendly planning helps everyone enjoy the celebration!

Have a fun and safe 4th of July 🎇

🎉 Testing = Part Science, Part Fun!
It may look like fun and games (because sometimes it is 😄)… but we really do test the products we carry—and we use your feedback too!

When we want to know how a kid might actually use something, we bring in Katie’s husband. He’s got the slime-swinging, glitter-throwing, evidence-hiding (yes, under the rug 🙄) down to a science. And he thinks he’s hilarious.

Is work always fun? No. But we sure try to make work joyful when we can. 💛

💙 Happy Father’s Day 💙

To the dads who learn the language of stims and non-verbal communication…
To the ones who carry weighted blankets and endless patience…
To the fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, uncles, and father figures who show up with love, support, and the tools to help their kids thrive—
We see you. We celebrate you.

At Sensory Tool House, we honor the dads who advocate, adapt, and embrace the differences in their children.

Whether you’re the master of deep pressure hugs, sensory playtime, or just being a calming presence—you make a difference every day.

💚 Thank you for being a steady, sensory-smart hero.
