Colours & Shapes Sensory Pad
Expected Despatch Date: 03-06-2025
The Colours & Shapes Sensory Pad is an interactive educational toy designed for children aged 3 and up. Parents can fill the pad with their choice of liquid—such as water, gel, or shaving cream—allowing children to guide colourful shapes through activities on 8 double-sided Activity Cards. This engaging sensory experience focuses on developing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, visual stimulation, and sensory exploration.
Benefits
This sensory pad is beneficial in an educational setting as it supports various developmental skills in young children. By using their fingers to move the shapes, kids enhance their fine motor abilities and improve hand-eye coordination. The calming weight of the pad can also help reduce anxiety and promote focus, making it a great tool for children who may need additional support in a classroom environment.
Classroom Ideas
Incorporate the Colours & Shapes Sensory Pad into your classroom by using it during sensory breaks, allowing children to engage with the pad to calm down and refocus. Use the Activity Cards to create structured group activities where students can practice identifying shapes and colours while guiding the pieces through the liquid. Set up a "sensory station" where children can explore different textures and liquids, promoting sensory play and exploration. The storage pocket ensures that all materials are organised and easily accessible.
