Multisensory Wooden Sensory Path – 5 Tactile Panels

A multisensory adventure with every step

Create a trail of textures with this five-panel Multisensory Wooden Sensory Path. Combining rope, smooth wooden inserts and a panel with holes for adding suitable balls, the set invites children to explore touch, movement and visual patterns through play.

Arrange the panels into a path or supervised obstacle course, then pause along the way to discover how each surface feels. Change the layout to introduce a new route, share ideas and turn everyday movement into an imaginative adventure.

Tactile discovery through hands and feet

Explore the contrast between smooth wood and ropes with different patterns and thicknesses. Begin by feeling the panels with hands, then introduce supervised barefoot exploration at a pace that feels comfortable for the user.

The panel with holes can be used with suitable rubber, anti-stress or tennis balls to introduce another texture. Balls are not listed among the set contents.

Balance and vestibular exploration

Stepping between panels, shifting body weight and changing direction offer opportunities to explore balance and movement, bringing vestibular context into multisensory play. Children can practise planning their next step and noticing their body position as they move.

Keep activities appropriate to each user's abilities and sensory preferences. Start with a simple floor-level route and offer support where needed.

Five panels to arrange and explore

• One panel with holes for suitable balls.
• Two panels with smooth raised wooden inserts.
• Two rope panels with different rope patterns and thicknesses.

Each panel has underside stabilisers designed to help position it on the GOOD WOOD ladder and provide its height. The path can be used separately or with a compatible GOOD WOOD ladder, following the manufacturer's setup instructions. A ladder is not included in the listed set contents.
