The Free Sensory at Home Toolkit
Free Printable Toolkit
Sensory at Home
A calm, by-need toolkit for sensory-sensitive and autistic toddlers. No overwhelm, no pile of equipment to buy.
If you have been searching for sensory toys, a sensory gym, or a sensory room, you already know the problem: thousands of products, and almost none of them tell you what your specific child needs. This free toolkit fixes that. It is organized around what your child is actually telling you, and most of what is inside costs nothing.
What is inside
- A seeker vs. avoider profile so you know where to focus
- Activity cards for five sensory needs: movement, deep pressure, sound, oral, and touch
- A daily rhythm planner you print each week
- A calm-down corner setup you can build on a budget
- Cut-out visual break cards your child can point to instead of melting down
- Clear guidance on when to bring in an occupational therapist

Join the Kala parent library and we will send you the printable toolkit plus our most useful free guides for the early years.
An honest note: sensory activities and tools are not a treatment or a cure for autism. What they do, and what occupational therapists use them for every day, is help a child feel calmer, more focused, and more available to learn and connect.
When you are ready for the full plan
The toolkit gets you started today. When you want the complete picture, the evaluation pathway, your legal rights, and ready-to-use supports, our Navigating Neurodivergence guide walks you through it step by step, and the Neurodivergent Support Bundle adds sensory supports, visual schedules, a meltdown toolkit, and a school collaboration workbook.
