Lesson Overview
Throughout this lesson, students will create an artwork that doubles as a sensory tool. Students will produce a “Chatterbox” that can be used to refocus attention and uses repetitive actions to create calm. These chatterboxes are designed to help children self-regulate, whilst learning about their senses and fostering positive self-talk.
