One of the universal favorites, the squishy ball. These are so soft and smooth. Great stress reliever. These are well loved their use-by Eric and Mommy and it shows! VERY ADDICTIVE!!!
This is another type of sensory ball to hold in his hand. These feel cool too,but Eric tends bite holes in them so they don't last long.
Another crowd pleaser-bubbles. Many of us have lost our breath with these. Very dangerous around Andy...he won't let you stop blowing without a full blown tantrum. All the boys love a bubble show. A great friend of mine suggested a bubble machine, which I am going to purchase in time.
What little boy doesn't like making a lot of noise. The toy instruments are also very popular.
Eric's favorite toy car. It turns into a robot I believe. This was one of his dad's old toys. Eric found it and has been in love with it since. Used as a playtime reward and to learn colors and words.
His favorite book. He can look at this for a long time. This is used to help him stay focused, and learn new word and how to read. He has read some parts of this book out loud. This was initially given to Andy by his teacher because he liked it so much. Now the other 2 boys have taken possession of this. I've never seen Eric take in interest in Arthur before, but whatever works. I just hope this book don't end up in pieces like most of them have around here.
Magnetic letters and numbers. Lately they have been asking him to specifically tell them the letter/number or the color. He used to give the color when asked the letter and vice versa. Now that is a cake walk for him. The next step is starting to put letters together to make sounds and words.
There are also some not so interesting items such as flashcards, crayons, ect that they use too. Andy loves the therapy book. He always wants to play with that. Don't understand the attraction, but fear not he should have one all his own within one to two years!
