Our Premium Sensory Room Package includes a whole host of fascinating sensory room products for the users to interact with and ensures hours of fun learning.

The package features: A 2m tall Interactive Bubble Tube with water treatment fluid and wall bracket. The bubble tube is supplied with a soft padded wireless switch, which features four coloured switch pads. When the user presses each of the colours, this dictates the colour of the tube.

A 900 x 900 x 300mm high Cream Padded Plinth. The plinth sits around the base of the bubble tube to provide a comfortable seating area, should the users like to get up close to the tube itself.

The UV Reactive Fibre Optic Harness supplied includes 100 strands at 3m long, along with a colour changing light source to allow the fibres to gently colour scroll. This is supplied with a Cream Beanbag. Thread the harness through the hole in the centre of the beanbag to allow the users to sit and interact with the fibres as they gently scroll through a range of colours.

2 Acrylic Mirrors which are for wall mounting behind the tube and plinth in the corner of the room, which provide an amazing heightening of the effect of the tube itself.

The mirrors are shatterproof acrylic to ensure safety.

The amazing Infinity Tunnel! Supplied for wall mounting, the Infinity Tunnel includes rows of LEDs which are reflected to give the impression of a tunnel of colour changing light! The tunnel includes an inbuilt control panel which features 16 programmes of different colour changing patterns.

The Fanlight Panel which has a fan of different sections of light, along with an in built control panel, and 16 programmes to choose from! The patterns of colour move in and out, as well as around the sections.

A Solar LED Projector with a rotator and 2 wheels to theme the room - Tropical Fish and In the Country.

A LED Water Projector and wall bracket for fixing to the wall. The water projector scrolls through a spectrum of colours, and projects a moving, watery image onto the wall of your choice. For a great, watery themed area, project the water effect onto the bubble tube and plinth.

A Fibre Optic Curtain for hanging on a wall or over a doorway. An in built LED light source will allow the curtain to gently colour scroll to provide a great effect that the user can really get up close with.

A 1.22m UV fitting is supplied to allow the Fibre Optics to glow under the UV light.

Place the small circles into the feely bag provided and they can describe the pattern they are feeling. Using their feet they can walk over the large sensory circles to see if they can tell them apart. Matching the small and the large sensory circles via touch is great fun too with or without a blindfold. Silicon is an ideal material - it is strong, safe to handle and ultra-soft to the touch. On the floor, the circles will grip and not slip even on a shiny surface and after use they can be washed by hand or popped into a dishwasher set on a high temperature to clean them thoroughly without harm.
