The tent features double zippers that allow to zip from the inside or outside and also allows you to create windows if required. Fits most common bed sizes such as single and XL single.
Comes in a handy 'pop-up' design making for quick and easy set up and down.
Sensory play is important for every child’s development but especially important to those with special needs and disabilities. Whether your child needs additional help or not, the dark den will help you create your very own sensory space in your home. Many sensory spaces have black walls and black ceilings because black absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The black colouring gives a sense of calm and allows the use of lighting to create sensory stimulation instead of sensory overload. Lots of twinkling fairy lights or light tubes will provide a calming effect on your little one when stressed or needing time out from a busy day.
Use for scientific investigation, special needs and fun! The dark den is a wonderful resource that children enjoy using. The accessories help them to explore their senses and encourage them to spend time in pairs talking about what they see and using their imaginations. It is also an excellent resource for solitary play. When a child feels the need to be alone they can sit in the den and use the accessories to explore their environment and their own ideas.
Teaching Ideas:
Use as a sensory break to prevent sensory overload and “meltdowns”
Children are encouraged to use the dark den either singly or in pairs. The accessories are available at all times. Ideas are discussed and encouraged. This can lead to investigating sight and touch experiences.
Use with star projector for space exploration
What is sensory stimulation? The answer is that stimulating the senses can have a positive effect on learning as well as emotional and social growth in a child. Sensory stimulation in learning means having activities that challenge or make use of the five senses. These senses, touch, taste, smell, listening, and visual, must be included in one’s learning. Schools incorporate sensory stimulation in their curriculum from the basics of math and reading to special classes such as art or extracurricular activities such as sports. Sensory stimulation also affects the emotional and social growth of a child.
