Tactile Discs Nordic 10 pc

The Tactile Discs Nordic Set features 10 durable, tactile discs made of soft synthetic rubber. Designed to stimulate both hand and foot senses, each disc has a unique textured surface and colour, making it a fun and interactive tool for sensory exploration. The set includes both large and small discs, allowing children to engage in tactile experiences while developing their sense of touch, memory, and verbal expression.

Educational Benefits:

• Sensory Development: The different textures on each disc provide rich tactile feedback, enhancing sensory awareness and helping children develop a keen sense of touch.
• Verbal Expression: As children explore the textures, they are encouraged to describe their sensory experiences, fostering language skills and vocabulary development.
• Cognitive Skills: The memory games and recognition activities improve focus, attention, and cognitive processing as children identify and match textures.
• Motor Skills Development: Walking or stepping on the larger discs promotes balance and coordination, while holding the smaller discs develops fine motor control.

Classroom Ideas:

• Tactile Exploration Stations: Set up a sensory station where children can explore the different textures of the discs with their hands and feet, and discuss what they feel.
• Memory Matching Games: Blindfold students and have them use their hands or feet to identify specific textures, encouraging memory, concentration, and tactile recognition.
• Verbal Descriptions: Ask children to describe the textures they feel using sensory words (e.g. bumpy, smooth, soft, rough), which helps build their descriptive language skills.
• Sensory Obstacle Course: Arrange the discs on the floor in a sequence and have children step on them while balancing or walking in a straight line to enhance physical coordination.

Age Range:
The Tactile Discs Nordic Set is suitable for children aged 2 years and up, making it a versatile resource for early childhood and primary classrooms.
