inclusive isn't just about disability, try to think in terms of ability.
for example - Chunkier paintbrushes, crayons, pencil grips, left handed scissors all these help to include all children and aids their attempts therefore ensuring inclusion
how about a globe/atlas,
How about the Don't call me..... range of books

I have chunky crayons already and have an atlas on my wall with country information sheets pinned around with strings to the country
i.e spain, picture of flamenco dancer, paella etc
I was thinking more about toys...

Don't forget inclusive can also mean gender toys such as a girl doll dressed in blue rather than pink - or a jigsaw puzzle/books with female lorry drivers and male hairdressers/househusbands, etc. xxx
