Sensory toys are an important element of childhood development, but they're particularly therapeutic for children who have sensory processing disorders, including children with autism and anxiety.
Since children touch everything (EVERYTHING!), sensory toys help them get used to feeling and seeing different textures and shapes and hearing diverse sounds as they develop their senses. These 23 picks are the best you can get in two days or less — aka on Amazon. Your children will have so much fun with them, they won't even realise they're working and learning.
