SpaceKraft Sensory Room Large Glitter Tube

The SpaceKraft Sensory Room Large Glitter Tube is a great way to encourage children with autism, ADHD or sensory processing disorders to manage their own emotions. By providing a visual focus that mimics the settling of emotions after being overexposed to sensory stimulation, the Large Glitter Tube helps to teach emotional self regulation.

How Do Glitter Tubes Help Children with Autism?

Glitter play offers a wide range of therapeutic experiences, it aids concentration, improves fine motor skills and contributes to language acquisition. Encouraging children to play with glitter tubes is a great way to improve their hand-eye coordination. 

Helps to Teach Emotional Self-Regulation

By providing an interactive and immersive object that the child can control themselves, glitter tubes help to teach emotional self-regulation. The skills that they learn while using the glitter tube can then be applied to challenging situations outside the sensory, helping to prepare children to be able to control their own emotions when they feel overwhelmed. 

Suitable for Use as a Sensory Fidget Toy

For children with ADHD or Sensory Processing Disorder paying attention in school can be a real challenge. Fidget toys are a great sensory tool for improving focus and retention, helping children to get the most out of their education.

Can be Used for Guided Mindfulness Exercises

Using the glitter tube as an analogy for the child's mind can be a particularly effective guided mindfulness exercise. When the child is exposed to an excess of sensory information their thoughts swirl, like the glitter tube when moved, but when the tube is held still and focused on, the glitter gradually settles. Walking children through this visual metaphor can be an eye-opening way of explaining how to calm their own thoughts. 

What Age Is the Glitter Tube Suitable For?

Please be advised that the SpaceKraft Sensory Room Large Glitter Tube is not suitable for children under three years of age.
