teaching.co.nz P 0800 808 044


Bring the calm. Find the focus. Deliver the learning. Where do you start with creating practical sensory spaces in your classroom? What does wellbeing look like in your environment? What resources can help regulate children with varying needs throughout the day?

It’s not as overwhelming as it may seem. This guide walks you through how to set up intentional sensory spaces, from setting up your learning environment and choosing sensory tools to supporting regulation, wellbeing and more. Each section has a quick-scan key for outcomes, with a focus on helping children feel safe, supported, healthy and confident to engage in learning and relationships.

Together, let us help you curate a sensoryfocused space that brings the calm, finds the focus and delivers the learning.

How to bring an intentional approach to sensory & wellbeing Every child experiences their environment differently. Creating a space where all children can thrive means moving beyond a one-size-fits-all approach and responding thoughtfully to a range of physical, emotional and developmental needs. With this in mind, we’ve teamed up with Autism New Zealand to create five entry-level kits for different sensory needs. Each kit offers a practical starting point, helping you explore which tools work best for the children in your care.

What are sensory aids, and who are they for? Sensory aids give the nervous system a specific kind of input - touch, movement, sound, or visual feedback - that helps someone self-regulate. They support people to feel comfortable in their environment and stay engaged in whatever they’re doing. Sensory aids are commonly used by people with sensory processing differences, but the need they meet isn’t exclusive to any diagnosis. Anyone who benefits from extra support with regulation, focus, or managing sensory input can use them.

Everyone regulates differently, and that’s the whole point. Some children need to seek out sensory input through movement or touch. Others need calm and predictability to feel settled. Neither is a problem to fix - it’s just how that child’s system works. These kits give you a tangible way to support it, whether that’s for one child, one classroom, or a mix of children with different needs.

Choosing the right tool The best sensory tool comes down to the child and what settles them. Some children respond well to squeezing, stretching, or manipulating something with their hands. Others do better with movement, visual input, or something quieter and more tactile. When you’re choosing a kit, think about the child’s needs, what they respond to, and where the kit will be used. Shared spaces like classrooms tend to call for something quieter and more discreet.

Five kits, five starting points Not sure which one fits? Match the kit to the moment: quiet and shared spaces call for one thing; a child who needs a big release call for another. The comparison below may help you identify which kit is best suited for you or the needs of your tamariki.
