Tabletop Sensory Light Play
Touch a light. Watch it change. A sensory experience in a tabletop tray.
Our Tabletop Sensory Light Play is built around eight raised touch domes set into a round tray. Press one lightly and it responds, glowing and changing colour under little fingers. Press another and it does something different again.
Children press, notice what happens, and press again, which is exactly the kind of gentle, repeatable feedback that helps a child settle and focus. Wonderful for colour naming and matching, and equally good as a quiet regulation tool when a child needs something calm to do with their hands.
Please note: this is a sensory piece, not a tracing light table. The lights respond to touch rather than staying on continuously, so it is not designed to be used as a constant backlit surface for tracing or mark making. If you want a light tracing surface, our Sensory Mood Play Cube has a flat, continuously lit well.
You can add water, sand, gel beads or other loose materials to the tray and let children explore the domes through them, and it runs on a rechargeable battery so it can go anywhere in the room.
