What Are the Advantages of Dark Room Play Dens?

Sensory dark rooms have the advantage of being extremely versatile, they can be vivid visual play centres filled with glow-in-the-dark toys or they can be quiet and calm places where users can relax and avoid becoming overstimulated. By making lights appear more pronounced, sensory dark rooms can also help develop hand-eye coordination and improve visual tracking skills.

How Easy Is the Sensory Dark Room Play Den to Assemble?

All the necessary poles, connectors and areas of fabric are included with your purchase. Assembly has been designed to be as quick and easy as possible, making this sensory den easy to take down and put up, should you wish to transport it. 

How Easy Is the Dark Room Play Den to Clean?

The sensory room dark den is made from impermeable fabric, ensuring it doesn't soak up liquids or stain easily. This means the den is very easy to keep clean, simply use a mild detergent and a wet cloth between uses to maintain excellent standards of hygiene.

Ideal for People with Visual Impairments

Dark rooms are great for making sensory spaces more inclusive for people with visual impairments. The extra amount of contrast between the dark floor, walls and ceiling and the brighter outside can help people to map out their surroundings better.

Perfect for Visual Assessments 

For children who are having the acuity of their sight and sensitivity to visual phenomena tested, dark rooms can be extremely helpful. By providing a relaxing, calming environment where sensory input is easy to control, sensory dark rooms are a fantastic environment for occupational therapists to provide psychological and visual assessments.
