It's that time of year again...It's time to get ready for school!
Now, some kids might be really excited to go back to school. Others, though, might feel nervous because it's something new and different. Maybe their school anxiety even starts to kick in.
So it's possible that your kid might need something fun to get them excited or even something calming to help them process their feelings and worries. And that's where these back to school sensory bins come in. They can help with that transition.
