Goldilocks and the Three Bears Sensory Story and Sensory Rich Activities Multiple Disabilities

Join Goldilocks on her adventures with this fully resourced, step-by-step multisensory story.

A multisensory story is told using sensory stimuli (props).
The story props are low budget, everyday items found around the home, garden, outdoor areas and in the classroom.

This story includes themed, sensory extension activities that link to the EYFS Framework and areas of the KS1 National Curriculum making them the perfect resource for Special Education (aged 3-19) EYFS, Mainstream Primary, Speech & Language and EAL students.

What are the Benefits of Multisensory Storytelling?

1. Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences.

2. Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way.

3. The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets.

4. The activities in the stories are designed to promote communication skills: (eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development), self-confidence & well-being (trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care & independence and enjoying achievement), self-awareness: (asking for ‘help’, ‘again’ and ‘more’), present opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills, promote physical development: (fine & gross motor skills), build knowledge about the environment & the world around us, to engage in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts and to develop social & emotional skills: (turn-taking & sharing and teamwork).

5. The sensory stimuli (story props) are a tool for the story explorer to explore and express their likes, dislikes and sensory preferences and to have the opportunity to make choices.
This information can be used to identify motivators or items to calm and individual when anxious, tired or stressed, identify triggers, (some you may wish to avoid, others to work on building tolerance through desensitisation in a safe and therapeutic environment) and used in the writing of care plans to enhance areas daily life.

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.
