Crafts aren’t just a fun way to pass the time; they’re a fantastic tool for helping your little learners absorb and remember the lessons you’re teaching. Plus, they give students something to proudly show off at home, sparking conversations about what they’ve learned in class—especially when it comes to boosting their early literacy and reading comprehension skills.

At Worthington Direct, we’re thrilled to introduce our new SEL & Sensory Spaces category.

Sensory spaces support sensory integration, aiding motor skills and cognitive development through multisensory learning. They can also be calming environments for students who are anxious or hyperactive, offering a safe space for emotional regulation.
