"A photo of two printed Think Sensory resource pages laid on a white surface, with a pink stapler, pink tape dispenser, and pink pen visible nearby. Both pages are titled 'My Sensory Preferences' with fields for name and date, and feature cartoon child illustrations alongside checkbox lists organized by sensory category. The left page covers four categories: Touch and Texture, with checkboxes for squishy slime or putty, soft animals or blankets, textured balls or cubes, smooth stones or metal objects, and moldable playdough or kinetic sand; Movement, with checkboxes for swinging back and forth, spinning in circles, climbing jungle gyms or trees, hanging upside down, and jumping and feeling a whoosh in the tummy; Calming Spaces, with checkboxes for sitting in a comfy chair, hiding in tents or forts, dim lighting like LED or twinkly lights, rocking in a chair or sensory swings, and blocking out sounds with headphones; and Sounds, with checkboxes for loud music with a write-in field, quiet and calm nature sounds like rain, white noise like static or a fan, making noise with instruments or my voice, and singing favorite songs. The right page covers four categories: Smells, with checkboxes for smelling a write-in field, wearing scented bracelets or necklaces, sniffing fresh air or flowers, baking and sweet smells from the kitchen, and playing with scented playdough; Visuals, with checkboxes for watching bubbles float or pop, swirling glitter in jars and snow globes, colorful or flashing lights and patterns, examining objects up close to my eyes, and moving water in fountains or rivers; Proprioception and Deep Pressure, with checkboxes for pressure from big hugs or weighted blankets, pushing and pulling carts or wagons, stretching and yoga poses, squeezing pillows or stuffed animals, and lifting heavy items like books or my backpack; and Tastes, with checkboxes for crunchy food like pretzels, carrots, or chips, chewy food like gummies or bubble gum, cold treats like popsicles or smoothies, intense flavors like mint, sour, or spicy, and smooth food like yogurt or applesauce."
