Key Features:
- A3 Light Panel: A bright, evenly lit surface that allows light to pass through the translucent blocks, creating visually captivating effects that stimulate the senses and encourage interaction.
- Exploration Tray: Use the tray to organise and display the blocks, or to create a variety of themed activities. Its flexible design is perfect for engaging individuals of all ages in meaningful sensory experiences.
- Translucent Blocks: These colourful blocks come in a range of shapes, perfect for sorting, arranging, or stacking. The light panel enhances their vibrant colours, bringing a soothing and visually appealing experience.
Perfect For:
- Care Homes: Encourage cognitive stimulation, sensory engagement, and relaxation with soft light and visually engaging patterns that support well-being.
- Nurseries & Schools: Ideal for early learning activities, sensory exploration, and creative expression.
- Therapeutic Settings: Designed to help with sensory processing, promote focus, and provide a calming, interactive environment for individuals of all ages.
- Reminiscence Box Exploration Use the Exploration Tray to display items from a reminiscence box, such as old photographs, vintage trinkets, buttons, postcards, and keepsakes. Place these items on the light panel to bring out their colours and details. Encourage participants to share memories triggered by the items, fostering conversation and emotional connection. This is particularly beneficial in care homes, where reminiscence activities can help spark memories and improve well-being.
- Under the Sea Sensory Scene Create a marine-inspired scene in the tray using sand, shells, and small plastic sea creatures. Add some blue translucent blocks to represent water, and place it on the light panel for a glowing, underwater effect. This activity can be an excellent way to engage the imagination of young children or provide a calming, visual experience for elderly residents.
- Nature Walk in a Tray Gather natural materials such as leaves, twigs, flowers, pebbles, and pinecones to create a nature scene in the tray. Arrange these items and place the tray on the light panel to illuminate the textures and colours. This activity brings nature indoors and can serve as a soothing sensory experience, as well as provide a great opportunity to discuss nature and the changing seasons.
- Sand or Water Play Fill the Exploration Tray with sand or water to create a tactile sensory experience. Participants can interact with the medium while the light panel enhances the visual appeal of the textures, making the activity more engaging. Add small toys, tools, or figures to the tray for more interaction, such as mini shovels for digging or little boats for floating. This activity promotes relaxation and fine motor skills.
- Tactile Exploration with Everyday Objects Fill the tray with everyday items like fabric swatches, textured paper, or household objects (buttons, beads, ribbons). Place these items on the light panel to enhance their appearance and allow participants to explore the different textures, shapes, and colours. This type of activity is especially good for elderly residents with dementia, as it encourages tactile engagement and sensory stimulation.
- Storytelling Scene Creation Set up a mini story scene in the tray using small figures (people, animals, buildings), natural items, or craft materials. The light panel makes the scene more vivid, encouraging participants to create stories around the scene. For example, create a farm scene or a family picnic and prompt participants to narrate the activities happening within the scene. This can be an engaging group activity, especially in care homes, to stimulate conversation and creativity.
- Interactive Shapes and Letters
Use the blocks to form letters, numbers, or familiar shapes (like stars, circles, or hearts) on the light panel. This can be a fun, educational activity for young children learning the alphabet or numbers, or for elderly individuals who enjoy nostalgic shapes or letters that trigger memories. - Collaborative Art Creation
Encourage group participation by having everyone add blocks to a communal design. This could be a mosaic, a large flower, or even an abstract piece of art. The light panel adds an element of beauty to the design as everyone contributes to the piece, fostering a sense of community. - Light and Shape Sorting
Provide a variety of translucent blocks in different shapes and colours. Encourage participants to sort them into groups by colour or shape. The light panel enhances the colours, making this activity visually stimulating and calming. For added complexity, ask participants to create patterns or sequences using the blocks.
