Explore the wonderful possibilities of a light-controlled sensory environment with this pop-up Dark Den Sensory Tent. It is ideal for people who feel safest and less overwhelmed in a darker, more secluded space.
Combining colour and light therapies activates a person’s neuro-stimuli of proprioception (the awareness of where your body is in space) with their vestibular system (the sense of balance) enabling the brain to enhance itself and develop its cognitive ability.
Sensory lighting works as a complementary therapy, acting as a visual aide that benefits both health and behaviours in children and adults.
Children’s moods in particular are strongly affected by lighting – for some it provides a calming, soothing effect, while for others it acts as a stimulant.
Certain light levels and colours can be beneficial and the ability to control visual stimuli within the space is important.
The Sensory Tent is also great for general dramatic role play, drama, scientific investigation and creative play - truly a versatile and open ended learning resource.
