Coloured polycarbonate sensory tunnel
The Inclusive Sensory Tunnel is a thoughtfully designed play feature that provides an engaging and fully accessible experience for children of all abilities.
With a generous internal width, the tunnel comfortably accommodates not only children but also caregivers, teachers, and support staff, including those assisting children with wheelchairs or mobility aids. This ensures a truly inclusive environment where everyone can participate in play together.
Constructed with polycarbonate panels, the tunnel allows natural light to filter through, creating a bright, colourful, and stimulating space that captures children’s attention and encourages exploration. This sensory-rich environment supports communication, language development, and curiosity about the world around them.
At the centre of the tunnel, a mirrored section replaces part of the paneling, providing an interactive feature that promotes self-awareness and recognition. As children observe their reflections, they begin to understand their own movements and features, helping to build confidence and social development.
Designed to support both sensory and social play, this tunnel is ideal for schools, nurseries, and inclusive playground environments.
