Jack and the Beanstalk Sensory Story and Sensory Rich Activities Multiple Disabilities

Join Jack on his adventures with this rhyming Jack & the Beanstalk Multisensory Story and Themed Sensory Extension Activities

Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect individuals with special educational needs & disabilities (aged 3-19) to literature, culture and topic in a way that is meaningful to their lives.

A multisensory story is told through the senses using sensory stimuli (story props). The props are low budget, everyday items found around the home.

This story is fully resourced and the easy to follow, step-by-step format makes it accessible for Parents/Carers as well as Teaching Staff, Speech & Language Therapists, Childminders, Play Therapists and anyone with an interest in storytelling in a fun and engaging way!

The story is adapted to meet a range of abilities from curious primary school aged children to adolescents with complex needs.

The rhythm and rhyme promotes communication skills (listening & attention, anticipation, turn-taking and making choices) and builds comprehension and understanding skills.

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.

I am a guest author in 'Sensory Stories - Making Narratives Accessible Through the Senses' by Dr Joanna Grace and Teaching Reading to All Learners Including Those with Complex Needs' by Sarah Moseley, and frequently contribute to the PMLD Link journal. I have written a sensory story for The Sensory Projects and have also featured in SEN Magazine making me a leading figure in the field of sensory-based education
I write the sensory activities for Little Magic Train and have written curriculum packs for Marvin's Storytime Show.

I have collaborated with The Story Massage Programme, Songs, Signs & Sounds and Luula.

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.

Thank you for reading my bio. Let's connect!
Victoria
