Rudolph’s Carrots Sensory Story Multiple Disabilities

 

It was cold, snow piled deep  

Santa lay in an icy heap  

“Rudolph’s hungry – he can’t take flight  

He needs carrots to the last night!” 

 

Join our characters on Christmas Eve as Santa’s sleigh crash lands into their snowy back garden.  The problem? Rudolph has run out of carrots! What can be done to help, and will Santa be able to deliver everyone’s presents on time? 

This resource has been created to support inclusive, multisensory engagement, inviting sensory learners to explore a festive sensory story through the eight senses, the five primary senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and the three body-based/internal senses: vestibular, proprioception, and interoception by weaving together tactile props, sounds, scents, tastes and movement. 

Rooted in a commitment to accessibility, sensory engagement and meaningful communication, each couplet offers a sensory prompt guiding the story participant through a journey where they can explore and connect in a space where every sense is welcome.   

This pack includes: 

  • A fully resourced step-by-step sensory story with facilitation guidance 
  • Learning objectives to help you plan, differentiate and assess 
  • Step-by-step sensory wall display activity inviting learners to re-experience the story through a wall display. 
  • Fun Feed Rudolph activity 
  • Guest feature Repeated Refrains by Tom McDonald, Director of AAC and Me

Hi, thank you for clicking onto my bio. My name is Victoria Navin, I am the Founder of Rhyming Multisensory Stories.

I am a passionate advocate for providing sensory-rich learning experiences for Neurodiverse, PMLD, Sensory and SEND Learners through my fully resourced, facilitated sensory stories and sensory-rich thematic classroom activities.

With over two decades of experience, including teaching children from travelling communities in Spain and working at a special school in Cheshire, I have written over 50 fully resourced multisensory stories with facilitation guides, learning objectives and sensory-rich thematic classroom activities.

I delivered online workshops for Creative Education and educators and caregivers worldwide and am a frequent speaker at online conferences having presented at Richard Hirstwood and Carol Allen's Sensory Festivals, and the PMLD Conferences run by Joanna Grace of The Sensory Projects.

My first book published by Routledge in Oct 2025 'Sensory Spaces: An A-Z of Immersive and Creative Environments to Support Sensory Integration' is a practical guide to creating customisable environments that spark curiosity, creativity, and storytelling. Using everyday items, it shows how to design spaces for learning, sensory engagement, and relaxation.

Whether you are exploring sensory storytelling for the first time or deepening your inclusive practice, I hope my resources bring inspiration, clarity, and joy to your learning journeys.

Your questions, queries, comments, and feedback are always welcome.
