Kids’ Voice: Design Your Dream Sensory Room

Designed with children, not just for children.

The best person to tell us what a sensory room should feel like is a child. This free activity invites kids to draw and build their own dream sensory room. Their choices help shape the equipment, activities, and feelings we design into the future 4C Sensory Center.
