 sensory
integration weighted toys focus on touch, inner ear senses, and
muscular senses. One
great toy that meets all these needs includes swinging toys,
more specifically, sensory swings.
First, the swing materials, whether light fabric or
weighted metal provide the need for touch.
Second, the swinging motion increases recognition of
space, balance and movement that all are derived from the inner
ear. Third, the
muscles, ligaments and joints needed to create the swinging
movement integrate this part of the body group to further
increase sensory awareness.
Thus, swinging
toys fulfill the three criteria for sensory integration weighted
toys. You
can find these swings in a variety of styles here.
