Colours and Shapes Sensory Pad
Colours and Shapes Sensory Pad
Student's name
First and last name, and class if you know it. This goes on the pack label.
Pickup available at Mega DC – Tweed Heads South
Usually ready in 24 hours
You choose the liquid - water, gel or shaving cream
A refillable sensory pad with colourful shapes inside and 8 double-sided activity cards. You fill it with whatever medium suits the child.
That refill choice is the feature. Water gives a fast, slippery movement; gel is slow and resistant; shaving cream is opaque, so the shapes appear and disappear. Same pad, three completely different sensory experiences, and you can change it when a child gets bored.
The pad has weight to it, which does a second job - resting hands or forearms on it is calming pressure, not just play.
Eight double-sided cards give sixteen structured activities, so it works as a shapes-and-colours lesson as well as a free-play sensory station.
A practical note we would add: if you use shaving cream, check it against any skin allergies or sensitivities in the room first. The supplier suggests it; they do not mention that.
Age: the supplier says 3 years and over.
