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

I am a passionate advocate for sensory-rich learning, specialising in developing meaningful, engaging and accessible resources for learners of all ages with diverse sensory and learning needs.

As founder of Rhyming Multisensory Stories, I create Sensory Stories, Multisensory Music Journeys™, Practitioner Guides and inclusive educational resources packed with sensory-rich activities.

With over two decades of experience, I began my career teaching children from travelling communities in Spain and working in mainstream education, before moving into specialist education and founding my own business.

My comprehensive self-paced online CPD programme offers practical training in sensory storytelling and multisensory engagement, priced at £10 to keep professional development affordable.

I deliver workshops for Creative Education and EQUALS and create recorded presentations for specialist conferences and events, including The Sensory Festival (Hirstwood Training) and the PMLD Conferences (Dr Joanna Grace).

I work with Little Magic Train to develop inclusive sensory content for their EYFS platform, adapting adventures and creating activities for children who benefit from additional support and sensory adaptations.

I am a guest author in Sensory Stories: Making Narratives Accessible Through the Senses by Dr Joanna Grace and Sarah Moseley’s Teaching Reading to All Learners Including Those with Complex Needs. My articles have been published in PMLD Link and SEN Magazine.

My book, Sensory Spaces: An A–Z of Immersive and Creative Environments to Support Sensory Integration (Routledge, ISBN 978-1-032-98911-2), is a practical guide to creating customisable environments that spark curiosity, creativity and storytelling, using accessible everyday resources to support learning, sensory engagement and relaxation. It also features contributions from professionals working across specialist education.

I continually add new resources to my extensive resource bank.

I believe sensory experiences should be creative, meaningful, engaging, accessible and achievable, with learners at the heart of practice. Whether you are exploring sensory storytelling or Multisensory Music Journeys™, looking for fresh inspiration, or seeking practical ideas and guidance, my aim is to provide resources that make sensory learning easier to plan and deliver.

My free monthly teaching planners are packed with sensory-rich ideas and inspiration for PMLD and SEND classrooms, settings and home learning throughout the year.
