About Us- Australia's Sensory & Fidget Experts!

 

Welcome to The Sensory Sloth, your go-to destination for high-quality sensory tools and fidget toys designed to support kids (and adults!) with their emotional regulation, learning, and wellbeing.

I'm Liz—proud mum, social worker, and founder of The Sensory Sloth. With 20 years of Social Work experience and two amazing neurodivergent boys (now 5 and 7), I know firsthand how important sensory tools can be for calming big emotions, managing transitions, and boosting focus.

The Sensory Sloth was born out of my passion for helping families like mine. I understand the challenges that come with sensory sensitivities and emotional regulation. That's why I created this space—to make it easier for parents, educators, and therapists to find tools that truly make a difference.

We’re here to celebrate neurodivergence, reduce overwhelm, and help children thrive. Whether your child has autism, ADHD, anxiety, or just needs extra support managing their emotions, we’ve carefully curated a range of products to suit different sensory preferences. From calming fidget tools to engaging activity sets, we’ve got something for everyone.

Why Sloths?
So, why The Sensory Sloth? Well, in our house, sloths symbolise calm, comfort, and connection. My 7yo son has listened to the same sloth-themed bedtime meditation story every night for over four years—it’s been a lifesaver for winding down after busy days. That love for sloths and their gentle, soothing energy became the heart of our brand.
