Tactile sensory stimulation focuses on the sense of touch and triggers a lot of neuron action in the brain.  Just imagining the gentle breeze, the feel of clothing on skin, and sand underfoot can relax an individual.  Every beach-bound adult can vouch for the calming qualities of water and sand.  Giving children interesting things to touch provokes tactile learning through multiple sensory mediums; items used can include sand, balls, sandpaper, pinecones, bark pieces, water, and even fruit with different textures.  Tactile sensory stimulation is one of the fastest ways that children learn, and perfect for those little natural discovery learners who learn best by using the "hands on" approach!  Tactile sensory stimulation improves concentration, alertness, and communication with children.  New discoveries and realizations come through doing instantaneously as opposed to thinking a thought first and then acting on it.

  

Bring the beach to your backyard with the WePlay Sand and Water Table, a durable sensory stimulation table for development and learning that promotes sharing and interactions among children.  The tactile perception encourages depth perception and a better understanding of various natural elements with different characteristics in their environment.  This fully mobile and portable sensory play station provides children with endless hours of discovery fun with numerous activities.  Find all sorts of other fun things to fill your table with for extra variety with dry beans, aquarium rocks, moon sand, fake snow, dry pasta, cereal, small toys, and even sea plants and animals.  The Weplay Sand and Water Table is by far the best of its kind because it is clear and encourages better visualization and perception through its multi-layer design that lets the tots explore the variation of depth.  It is a much better alternative to the traditional old clunky grass-killing sand box.  And it entertains and teaches four to six children at a time, making it a big hit at a birthday party or play date!  Keep those little ones from digging in the dirt and making muddy messes with this height adjustable table that 'grows up' with the kids.  It also has a convenient built-in drawing surface and storage shelf for maximum value.

  

The Hourglass Sand and Water Tray facilitates tactile and sensory play learning with two wells perfect for filling with a multitude of different textured objects like gel beads, pebbles, and dry rice, not just for sand and water.  Options are only limited by the imagination!  Play treasure hunt by hiding small toys in the sand for some added excitement.  This Tray is also great for tactile-sensitive children to desensitize them to different textures.  The Hourglass Sand and Water Tray improves a child's socialization and gross motor skills by sharing, sorting, and stimulating their sense of touch.  Smartly designed to allow wheelchair access, all children love playing with this versatile tray all year round.  And it is perfect for indoor and outdoor play; take it outside when the sun is shining but on rainy days or in the winter, use it in the kitchen or basement for tactile fun and learning every day. The Hourglass Sand and Water Tray encourages creative exploration and learning about cause and effect--but the kids just know that they cannot stop playing with it!
