00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:07,406
Today we're going to be unboxing the busy bin classroom bin.
2
00:00:07,478 --> 00:00:08,940
So we're just going to get into it.
3
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:17,870
So our first item is this tic TAC toe gel pad.
4
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:20,538
I really like gel pads.
5
00:00:20,574 --> 00:00:24,942
It also works on hand eye coordination, fine motor skills.
6
00:00:25,086 --> 00:00:30,954
It's a good fidget for kids who maybe are a little bit fidgety in the classroom.
7
00:00:31,122 --> 00:00:34,540
You can also use this for a sensory break as a calming tool.
8
00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:36,438
So this is a nice item.
9
00:00:36,474 --> 00:00:44,920
And also it's really easy to store and hide, which is really great for if you have a lot of kids in the classroom and you don't want to distract others.
10
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:54,920
A lot of times kids like to get in this and just feel the pressure that they can provide.
11
00:00:55,310 --> 00:01:03,066
So it's a nice tool to have or Royal system for a kid if they might be struggling in a certain area.
12
00:01:03,128 --> 00:01:05,670
In your class, we have these noiseless headphones.
13
00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:09,510
This might be something that's really nice to have in the classroom.
14
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:18,486
I always let my kids know where these are at, and I kind of teach them to be independent with their ability to know if they need it or not.
15
00:01:18,608 --> 00:01:33,690
By providing the noise canceling headphones or the noise diminishing headphones, you're helping to support a kid who's having a hard time tolerating those sounds, the time tracker mini and having a timer that helps them be able to organize their activity.
16
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:38,790
You're going to see a lot more success and maybe a lot less frustration with certain activities.
17
00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:39,762
Okay.
18
00:01:39,836 --> 00:01:45,490
And then we have these little turtle bean bags.
19
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:46,770
So bean bags are great.
20
00:01:46,820 --> 00:01:51,522
They're kind of a foundation piece in any therapy clinic because you can use them for so many different things.
21
00:01:51,656 --> 00:01:54,046
You can work on different goals.
22
00:01:54,178 --> 00:01:57,750
You can work on throwing color identification.
23
00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:03,020
It could be a fidget because it has the beans that are inside.
24
00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:10,918
Now we have my personal favorite because I love any softish tactile input.
25
00:02:11,014 --> 00:02:11,730
So this is crazy.
26
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:18,210
Aaron's Super Illusions Thinking putty in the colorway super scared of putty is great for lots of different things.
27
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,098
Putty is great as a fidget.
28
00:02:20,254 --> 00:02:22,678
It's also good for developing can strength.
29
00:02:22,714 --> 00:02:24,390
That intrinsic can strength.
30
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:28,398
It's also something like what she did.
31
00:02:28,424 --> 00:02:31,450
She just shared being, sharing.
32
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:32,974
Sharing is caring.
33
00:02:33,142 --> 00:02:39,990
So pulling in different students and to be able to do the activity, you can be creative with it.
34
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,718
You can make different things out of it.
35
00:02:41,744 --> 00:02:51,150
You can add pennies or other different small items into it to work on pinching, to work on pulling out, working on high eye hand coordination.
36
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,142
It's fun.
37
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,390
Next up is our weighted snake.
38
00:02:55,450 --> 00:02:57,174
Where his eyeballs? Oh, there they are.
39
00:02:57,212 --> 00:02:57,810
Okay.
40
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:06,606
So anything weighted is good for helping to achieve a calm, alert state, helping with focus, with weighted stuff.
41
00:03:06,668 --> 00:03:12,682
A lot of times I always will suggest to families, kind of a 1 hour on 1 hour off time frame.
42
00:03:12,766 --> 00:03:15,670
Now we have this little textured tangle.
43
00:03:15,850 --> 00:03:19,654
Yeah, again, it's a fidget help with calm, Help with focusing tactile.
44
00:03:19,762 --> 00:03:25,714
I think you can also like yeah, you can break it off into pieces and you can organize the colors.
45
00:03:25,882 --> 00:03:27,750
We have a therapy brush.
46
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:30,238
Yeah, therapy brushes.
47
00:03:30,274 --> 00:03:32,430
There's the whole protocol with brushing.
48
00:03:32,870 --> 00:03:44,360
This would be where more I would kind of check in with the families and ask them if they do any sort of brushing or if they've done in the past to learn if this is something that they've done at home.
49
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:48,814
So this is our little glitter sensory bees ball.
50
00:03:48,982 --> 00:03:50,670
It's also good fidget.
51
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:53,122
You have an auditory input.
52
00:03:53,146 --> 00:03:54,630
You have a visual input.
53
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:57,270
You're working on hand strength.
54
00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:01,866
You're working on being able to kind of pull that focus in.
55
00:04:01,988 --> 00:04:04,002
It's not meant for mouth use.
56
00:04:04,076 --> 00:04:10,498
So just make sure that whoever is using this, Especially if they like the stem with things in their mouth that they're not using that as a stem.
57
00:04:10,654 --> 00:04:12,510
This is our Twitter, Nathan.
58
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:14,862
Yeah.
59
00:04:14,936 --> 00:04:18,920
So this is kind of like a busy board.
60
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:25,926
It's got different tactile, Different sensory input that you can achieve from this.
61
00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:32,660
It's something that you could do at the desk or you could do in a classroom sending if you have alternative seating area.
62
00:04:33,170 --> 00:04:35,166
It just works on lots of different stuff.
63
00:04:35,228 --> 00:04:41,482
This is our desk buddy, which is like a ruler with just these little, like, raised tactile bits.
64
00:04:41,626 --> 00:04:43,450
And it's nice Because it's actually a ruler.
65
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:43,878
It is.
66
00:04:43,904 --> 00:04:46,726
And it's still a cone, so it's very flat.
67
00:04:46,798 --> 00:04:53,910
Another nice Ninja therapy trick Because it's a really nice little sensory support that, again, is discreet.
68
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:58,950
These are our glow in the dark hands fidget.
69
00:04:59,450 --> 00:04:59,850
Yeah.
70
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:01,410
Lots of textile input.
71
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:04,894
You can use it to to roll in the therapy.
72
00:05:05,002 --> 00:05:06,320
Oh, that's true.
73
00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:08,250
You can use it to roll out.
74
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:08,670
Yes.
75
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,320
This is just another one of those nice fidgets that can be kind of discreet Because if you make it smaller, It can fit into a kid's hands.
76
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:19,138
So this is our second to last item.
77
00:05:19,174 --> 00:05:21,450
This is the can do inflatable wedge.
78
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:24,800
It has a smooth side and then a tactile side.
79
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:28,518
These are good for sitting in a seat and helping with focus.
80
00:05:28,604 --> 00:05:31,606
It's also something you can take with you to different classes.
81
00:05:31,738 --> 00:05:34,830
Or you could put it on the floor and it could be used as a foot fidget.
82
00:05:35,450 --> 00:05:39,010
So it's again, another multiuse piece of equipment.
83
00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:42,630
So this is our final item and this is our stretchy string.
84
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,830
It's insanely stretchy.
85
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:46,002
And it's soft.
86
00:05:46,136 --> 00:05:47,406
It's very soft.
87
00:05:47,528 --> 00:05:49,518
It's another good sensor support.
88
00:05:49,604 --> 00:05:50,910
Another good fidget.
89
00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:53,240
It just feels nice in your hand.
90
00:05:54,110 --> 00:05:54,726
Cool.
91
00:05:54,848 --> 00:05:55,290
