Essential Awakenings® And MindScent® Sensory Kits Are Perfect For Holiday Giving
The holiday shopping season is here, and I'll be showcasing MindScent® and Essential Awakenings® sensory tool kits at this week's WBDC's Pop Up Shop in Stamford, Connecticut.

MindScent® also includes fact cards great for learning.
