When to use: 
Sensory canoes are a great way to provide compression and deep pressure input without needing to give touch. 
Great for our children that are needing space, don’t prefer physical touch/contact. 
 
How to use: 
Place the canoe away from the noise and chaos of the room. 
Provide books, fidget toys, blankets, stuffies or breathing exercises to help facilitate a sense of calm.

How to use: 
An option to provide downtime and the sensory input of deep pressure. 
Children often need deep pressure if they are feeling overwhelmed by their environment. 
Setting up the canoe in a quiet space and providing comfort items and music or soft noise is always helpful.
