Tactile

Touch is one of the most powerful ways young children learn. Our Tactile collection focuses specifically on resources that engage the sense of touch — helping children explore textures, develop sensory awareness, and build the fine motor skills that underpin writing, drawing, and everyday dexterity.

What's Included

• Texture boards & panels — smooth, rough, bumpy, and soft surfaces that invite children to touch, compare, and describe what they feel
• Feely bags & mystery boxes — classic tactile activities that build descriptive language, prediction skills, and sensory discrimination
• Touch-and-match resources — paired texture sets and sorting activities that develop cognitive and sensory skills simultaneously
• Tactile craft & art materials — textured papers, foam shapes, and hands-on materials that make creative activities a rich sensory experience

The Power of Touch in Learning

Tactile experiences are essential for sensory integration, particularly for children with sensory processing differences, autism, or developmental delays. Incorporating regular touch-based activities into the school day helps children regulate their sensory systems, improve focus, and engage more confidently with learning tasks.

All resources are child-safe, classroom-ready, and delivered to schools and early years settings across Ireland.
