Activity Pad - Colours, Shapes & Motor Skills
A fun activity pad you can fill with water, gel, shaving foam, or whatever messy sensory fun your child is in the mood for today.Â
Maybe your baby had one of those squishy water-filled play mats? This clever sensory pad takes the idea to the next level with hands-on learning and sensory play for bigger children.Â
Fill the mat with whatever liquid your child feels like exploring. The handy valve makes it easy to drain and refill for the next round of squishy fun.
The set includes 8 double-sided activity cards with fun challenges. Little fingers can guide the 24 plastic shapes through the activities, or squish and push them around the sensory pad. The activity cards slot into the back of the mat, so they stay dry and protected from the liquids inside.Â
The durable activity cards make it easy for your child to play with the sensory mat on the go — in the car, on the train, or anywhere without a table.
Moving the geometric shapes around the pad helps develop your child’s fine motor skills and tactile sense while also strengthening hand-eye coordination and focus. For some children, the gentle weight of the mat can have a calming, comforting effect.
Activity guide included.
What makes this product special
Do you know what STEM means, and why most kids learn better when school subjects mix and mingle?
Read all about STEM, STEAM, and STREAMright here on our blog.Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) play activities and experiments are a perfect example of that.
