Overview
Think about our senses being like cups and everything we see, hear, feel, smell, touch, and taste as we move about is like water going into our cups. Some of our cups might be big and some might be small. Whether big or small, we like it best when our cup is filled enough so that it's just right for us! We are all different. We need just the right amount of information to feel good! Help your child aged 7+ think about, explore and develop ways to manage sensory overload and feeling under stimulated with quirky cartoons that visually illustrate the approach. Sections on each of the eight senses (including your internal 'body signals' like hunger) feature noticing and knowledge-building activities to help kids get their own, unique, senses cups feeling 'just right' for them. Get going on some sensory experiments!

Reviews
I think this is amazing. There were definitions which really help me understand and inclusive activities to try. I like that it is interactive and 'we' makes it sound like everyone is in a team. I love the illustrations because they help get the message across. I now know that my proprioceptive cup is huge! -- Rose Manon Trabaud, age 12
