Glo Pals Sensory Play Jar – Light-Up Colour Changing Sensory Jar

£19.49

Glo Pals Sensory Play Jar – Light-Up Colour Changing Sensory Jar

£19.49
Colour: Purple

The Glo Pals Sensory Play Jar is a refillable light-up sensory jar that transforms ordinary water into a glowing, colour-changing visual experience. Simply add tap water and the jar automatically lights up, gently cycling through nine different colours. Tap the jar to change the colour and create an engaging sensory activity for play, quiet time or visual exploration.

Children can personalise their Sensory Play Jar by adding suitable fillers, small figures, glitter or other favourite items to create different themes and effects. As the light shines through the water, the contents move and catch the changing colours, providing an ever-changing display to watch and explore.

Designed for children from 18 months, the jar has large soft-touch handles that are easy for small hands to hold and a secure locking lid to help prevent spills. When playtime is finished, simply turn the jar upside down to switch off the light.

Key Features

  • Water-activated light: Add tap water and the jar automatically begins to glow.
  • Nine changing colours: The light gently cycles through nine colours to create an engaging visual display.
  • Tap to change colour: A gentle tap changes the light colour, introducing simple cause-and-effect play.
  • Refillable sensory play: Add suitable fillers, small figures or other items to create personalised sensory scenes.
  • Easy-to-hold handles: Large soft-touch handles are designed for little hands.
  • Secure locking lid: Helps keep water and sensory contents safely inside during play.
  • Simple switch-off: Turn the jar upside down when finished to switch off the light.
  • Portable: Suitable for sensory play at home, in early years settings, classrooms or while away from home.

Sensory Benefits

  • Visual: The illuminated water, movement and changing coloured light provide active visual stimulation for children who enjoy watching lights and colours.
  • Visual tracking: Adding suitable fillers creates moving objects for children to watch as they float, swirl and move through the illuminated water.
  • Cause and effect: Tapping the jar changes the colour, helping children explore the relationship between an action and its immediate visual result.
  • Flexible sensory play: Different fillers can be added to change the visual experience according to the child’s interests and preferences.

SEN Benefits

The Glo Pals Sensory Play Jar may be particularly appealing to children who seek or enjoy visual sensory input, including some autistic children, children with sensory processing differences and children with other additional needs.

Its illuminated, colour-changing display can provide a visually engaging activity during sensory play, quiet periods, transitions or one-to-one activities. Because children have individual sensory preferences, the jar can be kept simple with water alone or personalised with suitable fillers to create a busier visual experience.
