Sensory Tent

Transform any learning space into a calming, sensory-rich environment with the Elizabeth Richards Sensory Tent-a light-controlled, enclosed space designed for sensory therapy, creative play, and emotional regulation. Its compact design and adjustable light flaps create a customisable sensory retreat that supports children's diverse learning and emotional needs.

The tent's nylon double-skin blocks out external light, while the adjustable flaps and observation windows allow educators and carers to easily manage visibility and lighting, tailoring the environment for light and colour therapy. Perfect for children aged 3+, this tent offers a safe, stimulating space to support mood regulation, proprioception, and vestibular input.

Ideal for use in classrooms, libraries, early learning centres, and therapy settings, the Sensory Tent enhances a child's cognitive development while offering practical applications in both structured and play-based learning.

Educational Benefits:

• Visual Sensory Support: Adjustable lighting and enclosed design allow for tailored light and colour therapy, supporting both calming and stimulating needs.
• Cognitive Development: Combines visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive input to support neurodevelopment and body awareness.
• Flexible Learning Tool: Encourages creativity, exploration, and self-directed learning through dramatic play and quiet retreats.
• Emotional Regulation: Provides a soothing environment for children with sensory sensitivities, autism, or anxiety to self-regulate.

Classroom & Learning Space Ideas:

• Sensory Break Zone: Set up the tent as a dedicated quiet retreat where students can calm down and regulate sensory input during transitions or after overstimulation.
• Creative Play and Role Play: Use for dramatic storytelling, scientific discovery, or imaginative scenarios, enhancing oral language and cognitive engagement.
• Light Therapy Integration: Pair the tent with sensory lights or projectors to experiment with light intensity and colour effects for focus, calm, or exploration.
• Inclusive Learning Hub: Offer as a space for one-on-one instruction, mindfulness, or rest periods, especially for students with ADHD, autism, or SPD.
