Winter Sensory Story and Sensory Rich Activities Multiple Disabilities

‘I woke up this morning and to my delight
A carpet of snow had fell in the night
I put on my gloves, scarf, and a hat
And followed the tracks of a bird and a cat’

Step into a season of sparkle and sensory joy with this fully resourced and facilitated winter sensory story with learning objectives to help you plan, differentiate and assess.

This resource has been created to support inclusive, multisensory engagement, inviting sensory learners to explore the season of winter through the eight senses, the five primary senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell and 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.
Facilitators are invited to adapt the resource to reflect their learners’ needs and preferences as a flexible guide to celebrate each learner’s presence, agency, and voice enabling them to experience winter through a multisensory lens.

This pack includes:
– A fully resourced sensory story with facilitation guidance
– Learning objectives to help you plan, differentiate and assess
-Sensory rich winter themed activities to keep your learners busy all season including a winter sensory bin, winter clothes exploration, expanding and condensing water bottle experiment, feed the birds activity, outdoor winter sensory journey plus grab and go ideas!

Your questions, queries, comments, and feedback are always welcome.
Thank you for looking😊

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.
