This resource has been created to support inclusive, multisensory enagagment, inviting learners to explore the festival of Diwali through the eight senses, the five primary senses - sight, sounds, touch, taste and smell and the three body based senses - vestibular, propriception and interoception.

The story weaves together tactile props, sounds, scents, tastes and movement with poetic language and gentle facilitator guidance.

With thematic sensory-rich thematic activities from exploring spices, tracing rangoli, hennaed hands, to watching swirling golden dupattas against a background of gently clinking bangles and more…this Diwali sensory story is rich with hands-on invitations.
