Abstract The utilization of sensory tools and toys in educating children within inclusive settings can significantly benefit their overall development, particularly those with sensory processing disorders. Addressing their learning needs through academic interventions, such as play-based activities, is essential. Therefore, this research aims to develop a toy for sensory integration (SI) and investigate its effectiveness. The study employed a Product Development Design, specifically the ADDIE model, in designing and developing the product. Additionally, purposive sampling was utilized to gather information from experts, evaluating the product comprehensively in terms of usability, appearance, relevance, functionality, and durability. The five emergent themes identified using Braun and Clarke’s six-step process were: (1) Benefits of SensoShapes to Learners’ Sensory Experiences, (2) Interactive Learning and Tactile Exploration, (3) Catering to Learners’ Individual Differences, (4) Challenges and Disadvantages, and (5) Recommendations and Limitations of the Product. Furthermore, quantitative analysis was conducted to analyze the numerical data found in the evaluation rubrics. In conclusion, it is evident that modifications are necessary to enhance the product overall, and further research is needed to investigate its effectiveness for sensory integration and multisensory learning approach.
