SENSORY FIELD trips ABOUT FINE PRINT FAQ Sensory Field Trips We are excited to introduce Sensory Field Trips—a new pilot program designed for special education schools and classrooms. These field trips are open to public schools, private schools, and organizations that serve children with sensory sensitivities and those who may benefit from a quieter and more secure environment. Sensory Field Trips are offered on Tuesdays when the museum is closed to the public to reduce noise and stimuli for a more comforting experience. Teachers can also choose from a variety of lesson plans so you can tailor the experience to your students’ needs. When? Field trips are offered on Tuesdays from 10am–12pm . The upcoming available dates are: May 14 How? To request or schedule a Sensory Field Trip, fill out the request form by clicking the button below. BOOK NOW Spots and availability are limited. We will do our best to accommodate all requests. Once we have reviewed your request, we will contact you to schedule your trip! If you have questions, you can email us at groups@caytonmuseum.org or call 424.416.2448. 2023 Lesson Plans MAKING SCENTSIBLE ART | grades PreK–3 (Olfactory) Students learn that it can help to be nosy when they explore how their brains process smell through a fragrant art project. Using all-natural powders, children will concoct their own scented paints that they'll then use to create colorful masterpieces that make scents. ​ KEEPING IN TOUCH | grades K–3 (Tactile) Unlike other museums, we encourage exploration through touch! Using different materials with a variety of textures, children will build their own engaging sensory boards and use adjectives to explain how the individual components feel. ​ HEAR COMES THE SOUND | grades K–3 (Auditory) This is a welcome opportunity for students to sound off on listening. Meeting at the intersection of art and music, children are captivated as they draw how an array of nature sounds and different genres of music make them feel. ​ SEEING YOUR TRUE COLORS | grades 1–3 (Visual) Students get to make a hue-ge splash with visually stimulating sensory bottles. Using vivid primary hues, children will identify both primary and secondary colors as they mix them in bottles. They'll also employ different tools like glowsticks and mini flashlights to explore the full spectrum of colors. ​ WE LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT | grades K–3 (Proprioception/Vestibular) Here’s one for the movers and shakers! Students will focus on the different ways their bodies respond to activities that utilize a wide range of motion. From gentle yoga to an exhilarating obstacle course, children love to shake things up during this field trip. ABOUT Fine Print Actual field trip schedules may vary depending on the arrival of groups. Los Angeles traffic is unpredictable! Please allow ample time for your drive to the museum. If you are late, we CANNOT extend your field trip time, and museum playtime may be shortened.

SENSORY PLAY INCLUSIVE PLAY ABOUT FAQ INCLUSIVE PLAY Sensory Inclusive Play At the Cayton Children’s Museum, we believe in the benefit of play for all and recognize that play looks different for everyone. Our weekly Sensory-Friendly Play is designed for community organizations that support families with children of diverse abilities and special needs. We also invite families to the museum for custom events that cater to sensory sensitivity and other needs to make the museum a more personable experience for all. Beginning February 4 , the Cayton Children’s Museum offers Sensory-Friendly Hour from 9AM - 10AM weekly on Sundays . During this time, we welcome families and members with children who have sensory sensitivities and disabilities. Standard admission fees apply. ABOUT About Sensory-Friendly Hours What is sensory sensitivity? Sensory sensitivity is an increased sensitivity to and deeper cognitive processing of external stimuli. People with sensory needs have trouble receiving and responding to information that is received by our senses; subtle sounds, lights, crowds, and even smells can be overwhelming and sometimes physically painful. Sensory sensitivity is more common than you might think. According to KultureCity®, 1 in 6 people have a sensory need or invisible disability often experienced by individuals with autism, dementia, PTSD, and other similar conditions. What sensory inclusive accommodations will the Museum offer? The Cayton already has sensory bags and weighted lap pads readily available—not just during Sensory-Friendly Hours—at the Front Desk. The sensory bags are equipped with noise-cancelling headphones, fidget tools, and verbal cue cards. Should you need any assistance, a Play Guide or any employee can also help you locate them. What adjustments will be made to the Museum floor? During Sensory-Friendly Hours, the Cayton will make limited PA announcements and ensure that any music is played softly. There will be designated Quiet Area locations that are easily accessible locations for those who may benefit from a quieter and more secure environment. Quiet areas will be clearly marked with a KultureCity “Quiet Area” sign. For our play friends who use wheelchairs, the Cayton ensures accessibility at the Wishing Wall card area and in the Kevin & Chelsea Washington Art Studio. What is KultureCity®? KultureCity® is the leading nonprofit recognized for revolutionizing and effecting change for those with sensory needs in communities across the country. Since the program’s inception, KultureCity® has created more than 550 sensory-inclusive venues and events, including major NFL and MLB events. The Cayton is proud to partner with KultureCity® to be certified as a Sensory Inclusive venue. Will there be special classes or programs for Sensory-Friendly Hours? We are excited to offer several engaging sensory inclusive activities during Sensory-Friendly Hours. Is your staff equipped to handle families with children with special needs? We welcome children of all abilities at the Cayton Children’s Museum and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive play environment. To achieve this, our play guides take part in regular training on inclusion and guiding play. Play Guides and front desk staff are also certified by KultureCity® in recognizing and helping guests with sensory needs, as well as handling sensory overload situations.
