Gonge Tactile Discs - Sensory & Tactile Play - Nordic Colors

SENSORY TRAINING: Tactile discs help develop the ability to describe sense impressions verbally. GONGE products can be used for anything from free play to specific therapy and structured training. Children will develop physical strength and motor skills - including weight transfer, familiarity with heights, physical coordination and agility - as well as sensorimotor abilities, such as awareness of posture, sense of touch and balance.

DURABLE & LONG-LASTING: The tactile discs, made of nice-to-touch synthetic rubber, contain different tactile structures, each with its own nordic color. GONGE products are made to offer hours of fun for countless children for many years, and encourages children to engage in games that combine physical and social abilities.

UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES: Discs offer innumerable possibilities ranging from a fundamental sensing of the tactile structures to blindfold games based on memory and recognition. Group play will help to teach them cooperation and coordination based on physical interaction. They will then learn by imitating the actions of others - probably our most basic way of learning.

TACTILE SENSE: Discs have an inviting tactile material that challenges children's sense of touch on both hands and feet. The sense of touch recognizes contact, pressure or traction exerted on the skin, as well as in some internal organs. Receptors on our skin relay information about the temperature, texture, shape, size, number and pressure of stimuli. When working efficiently, the tactile senses help a child to do everything from buttoning a shirt without looking, to enjoying a hug from a parent.

MATCHING DISCS: Each of the tactile structures can be found on a large disc for positioning on the floor, as well as on a small disc that the child will be able to hold in his/her hands. Set includes bag and blindfold for memory games and activities. Discs measure 4.3" - 10.6".
