Sensory Mood Water Table

75565

Our new colour-changing sand & water table has been redesigned with several convenient features. The deep exploration area is perfect for the open-ended investigation of different materials, with the additional visual sensory element of light and colour. Ideal for individual focused activities or collaborative play.

The sturdy but lightweight unit is beautiful and practical: easy to move, quick to clean and with a slim profile to fit upright through standard doors. The sides and bottom of the internal well have been considerately designed so the base can be covered with only a small amount of liquid or other materials if required.

The LED unit is optimised so the light floods the whole area of the internal well evenly, emitting a soft clean glow which changes colour using the remote control. The overall height of the unit allows younger children to reach the bottom of the exploration area with ease, ideal for all aspects of messy play.

All TickiT Sensory Mood Lights have A+ energy rating and are water resistant rated IP65. They include a universal power adapter (UK/ EU/ US/ AU compatible) with low voltage mains power supply. An 8-hour charge cycle will provide an average of 5-10 hours of light (depending on program setting). Includes information sheet in 8 languages. British design and manufacture.

Size: 505mm high x 750mm dia. Depth of exploration area 150mm.

Our new colour-changing sand & water table has been redesigned with several convenient features.

The overall height of the unit allows younger children to reach the bottom of the exploration area with ease, ideal for all aspects of messy play.

All TickiT Sensory Mood Lights have A+ energy rating and are water resistant rated IP65. They include a universal power adapter (UK/ EU/ US/ AU compatible) with low voltage mains power supply.
