SPARK & WOW Plumly Calm Down Threading Boards Set of 2 - Sensory Activity for Autism & ADHD
The SPARK & WOW Plumly Calm Down Threading Boards set includes two purple boards, two threading pens, and eight colorful laces. Designed for ages 3 and up, these sensory boards help build hand coordination and pincer grip while encouraging calm focus. Ideal for calm corners, classrooms, or occupational therapy, each board measures 5.5 by 7.7 inches and can be connected to expand the play area.
What makes these threading boards different from regular lacing toys?
The boards are made to keep their shape, and the holes hold the laces firmly so each push and pull creates a satisfying flick and pop sound. This tactile and auditory feedback adds to the sensory experience, making it more engaging than standard lacing cards. The set comes with an activity guide that includes mindfulness and tracing exercises.

The included activity guide offers guided exercises to practice breathing, counting, and tracing, helping children develop self-regulation skills.
