Guidecraft has created an innovative sensory table that supports every child’s physical and cognitive development through a one-of-a-kind play experience. Based on extensive research and theory, the Sensory System provides every budding scientist and creative maker with agency and the opportunity to explore individual interests. The base component of this new system is a Greenguard Gold Certified Sensory Table and canopy made from sturdy hardwood that features an easy-to-clean, water-resistant finish. A deep play basin with drain is included, creating an invitation for open-ended activities using playful materials such as beans, rice, or traditional sand and water. The slatted canopy features a graceful, Pikler-inspired arch. This overhead structure promotes active, exploratory play across multiple levels, nurtures natural curiosities and overlays additional gross motor skills as children engage their entire bodies, attach tubes and drape silks. Children can incorporate the double-sided lid into art activities by using the chalkboard, or remove to create a convenient storage shelf below the bin. Combine with Sensory System Tubes and Clips Set (sold separately) to create unscripted, immersive opportunities for cause and effect discoveries, an introduction to early physics properties, and experimentation with holes, gravity, transport and movement. For ages 18 months and up. Entire wooden table with canopy measures 32"W x 25"D x 44"H. Plastic bin with drain and chalkboard lid/shelf included.
