Sensory Toys for Autism & ADHD

Sensory toys for autism (ASD) and ADHD, from chew necklaces and fidget toys to weighted lap pads and visual timers, for toddlers, children and adults. Parents, teachers and SENCOs use them at home, in class and in sensory rooms.

These autism sensory toys are grouped by what a child needs, so you can go straight to the right section. Children who need to chew can choose from chew toys and chewy necklaces, busy hands can reach for fidget toys for autism and ADHD, and children who like a steady weight on their lap can try weighted toys and lap pads. Visual timers show how long an activity will last.

Bestselling autism toys include our Attention Autism bucket kits, the Vibrating Sensory Cushion, which vibrates when pressed and stops when released, and the Fluorescent Mirror Chimeabout with its mirrors and chime bells. If you are new to sensory toys, start with one or two pieces and add more once you see what your child reaches for.

Autism & ADHD: your questions answered

How do I choose sensory toys for an autistic child?

Match the toy to what the child already does or enjoys. A child who mouths things may take to a chew necklace, a child who loves watching lights may like an LED spinner, and one who likes to squeeze may prefer putty. Age guidance and sizes are on each product page, and you can browse our light-up sensory toys.

Which sensory toys suit children with ADHD?

Many children with ADHD get on well with things they can use while they listen or work: a quiet fidget in the hand, a wobble cushion on the chair, or a visual timer showing how long a task lasts. Keeping a small set in class means a pupil can reach for one without leaving their seat. See our wobble cushions and sensory seating.

What is the difference between fidget toys and calming toys?

Fidget toys are small things to squeeze, stretch or click, giving busy hands something to do during lessons. Calming toys are slower and gentler, such as vibrating massagers, soft putty and weighted cushions, and families and schools use them in calm corners and during sensory breaks. Many children use both. Browse calming sensory toys.

What is an Attention Autism bucket kit?

It is a ready-made set of eye-catching toys for bucket time, the first stage of the Attention Autism approach developed by Gina Davies, where an adult reveals one exciting item at a time. Our kits are created with guidance from Jordan, our special needs teacher expert, and are designed to support the approach. See our Attention Autism bucket kits.
