Emotions are high. Routines are out of the window. And we might not know where to focus our energy. It’s difficult to say the least.
But we want to let you know that the grey cloud of uncertainty will pass. Bright, sunny skies are ahead. And whilst we wait for the sun to shine, we’re ready to bring you a radiant rainbow of Sensory Supplies.
WELCOME TO SENSORY AT HOME!
Our new Rhino Department focusing on providing all of the sensory activities, inspiration, resources and support that you might need to get through these uncertain times. Helping you to turn a space in your home into a sensory paradise.
Sensory at Home will cover ten key areas, focusing on all five senses, which will help every individual. Allowing you to include sensory inspiration within every part of your day, bringing a calming and balanced structure.
SENSORY DENS
Sensory Dens are the perfect solution if you don’t have the space for a full sensory room, or even a sensory corner. Simply pop your den up, enjoy a comforting sensory experience, then pop it back down – easy-peasy.
Build your den wherever feels right; in your bedroom for some sleepy naps, for your spy headquarters in the living room, or even outside in the garden, the perfect hideout to spot some friendly dinosaurs.
Once you’re inside of your den, you can relax and let your imagination run free, no matter what’s happening outside.

DIY PADDING AND PROTECTION
As your home becomes a new sensory playground, we want to make sure it’s safe to play in. Normal household objects like tables, cupboards and chairs, could now be classed as a danger area for nasty bumps or bruises. Which is why we’ve created a DIY protection collection, so that you can turn your home into a safe sensory space.
