Every shelf in our therapy classroom, in one list. These are the exact material kits our Activity Library’s 156 teaching routines are built on — tap a kit in the app, grab the matching materials here.
Organized the way the Activity Library thinks: by what’s in your hands. Looking for BCBA gear instead — laptops, laminators, backpacks? That’s the Master Must-Haves List.
Magnetic tiles, blocks, and puzzles — the backbone of turn-taking, requesting, and imitation routines.
The classroom workhorse: builds, crashes, requests, colors — a dozen routines live inside one box.
The original — pricier, but the magnets survive years of daily therapy use.
First puzzles for little hands — knobs make errorless teaching and hand-over-hand fading easy.
Rotation stock so the puzzle shelf never goes stale — matching, labeling, and finish-the-task routines.
Big, light, safe to topple — gross-motor building and the most satisfying crash in the room.
Kinetic sand, playdough, slime — regulation and requesting opportunities by the handful.
Never dries out, sweeps up clean — hides, scoops, letter-tracing, and calm-down work.
The classic for a reason: color requests, tool use, imitation, and endless mands for “open.”
Make-it-together slime = a full session of following directions before the play even starts.
Tongs, scoops, droppers — fine-motor work disguised as play at the sensory table.
Rotate fillers to keep the bin novel — the fastest re-pairing tool we know.
Squeeze-and-roll calming input — our go-to for regulation breaks and deep-pressure hand work.
Paint, paper, glue, pompoms — where requesting, choice-making, and fine-motor goals meet.
“Washable” is doing heavy lifting in this classroom. Color mands all day.
Bulk paper disappears fast when every craft is also a requesting program.
Squeeze bottles double as hand-strengthening. “More glue” is a mand magnet.
Sorting, counting, tweezers work, and glue-on crafts — one bag, four programs.
Chunky crayons for emerging grasp — less frustration, more coloring.
Marks only on the special paper — art without the wall-scrubbing. Independent-work-station gold.
Paint with water, colors appear, dries blank, repeat forever — the reusable art mat our kids ask for by name.
A floor-size water mat: big-arm strokes, zero mess, and a shared canvas for parallel play.
Balls, yoga, trikes, wagons — the gross-motor gear our outdoor routines run on.
Roll, bounce, kick, turn-take — the simplest social game in the building.
One mat per learner = a visual boundary AND a calm-body station.
Wagon rides are our highest-value reinforcer on wheels — and a peer-interaction machine.
Grows from push-trike to pedals — exactly how we fade physical prompts on bike goals.
Circle-time gold: waiting, direction-following, and the best group cheer there is.
The pairing section. If a learner is new, this shelf is where the relationship starts.
Survives being thrown. The single best $8 in early intervention.
Hands-free bubbles = your hands free for pairing, imitation, and “more!”
Cause-effect + a built-in mand every 20 seconds when it stops.
Stretch, pop, connect — cheap, loud, and weirdly beloved across every age group.
Drums, strings, and shakers — the Songs kit in our Activity Library runs on these, and music is the fastest group-engagement tool we own.
Loud on purpose: imitation, turn-taking, stop-and-go — rhythm is a full teaching routine in one box.
Strum-and-sing time: joint attention and requesting (“more song!”) with the motivator built in.
Maracas, tambourines, bells, rhythm sticks — enough for the whole circle, and every song becomes a group activity.
Fits tiny hands, survives being thrown, and turns any transition song into a job for every learner.
What keeps schedules, token boards, and choice boards alive — the analog half of our Classroom App.
The currency of every ABA classroom. You will never buy enough.
The red disk that makes “5 more minutes” visible. Worth every penny of its price.
Slide any worksheet in, reuse forever — laminating without the laminator.
For the visuals that live on the wall all year — pairs with the laminator on our BCBA gear list.
Field truth: many of our learners bond with one specific item — and families rebuy that exact item for years. These are the ones we see again and again. (This list grows as Lia adds the classroom's current favorites.)
The classic high-value reinforcer — visual, repetitive, and requested by name.
Big enough to share, sturdy enough to survive being loved hard.
Quiet, pocket-size, endlessly twistable — the fidget that goes home in a backpack and must be rebought.
