Glitter Tube Gold by Sensory Sensations | Special Needs Resources

Liquid Timer – Glitter Tube Gold – Liquid Motion

SS-292GR

$14.95

The Sensory Sensations Glitter tube is filled with glittery material suspended in an oil liquid. The glitter does take quite some time to settle – up to five minutes depending on the ambient temperature. The warmer it is, the faster the glitter will move and settle.. The liquid motion is mesmerising to watch as it swirls and floats around the tube. The glitter inside the tube picks up the light and sparkles as it moves. The Glitter tube can be activated by turning the tube upside down or by slight shaking. The Glitter tube is 15cm tall and has a diameter of 5cm.

Available in red or blue, the Glitter Tube timer can be used in a number of therapeutic setting suitable for special needs.

The Glitter Tube can be used:

* As a simple timing device during activities such as brushing teeth. A fun way to distract from the actual activity and set a time limit on completing that activity.

* As a reward for completing an activity

* To calm during periods of sensory overload

* As a distraction during episodes of sensory overload

* To reduce anxiety during stressful periods – the rhythmical drops can have a soothing effect

* For visual tracking – watching the glitter float to the bottom of the tube.

* To demonstrate the scientific principles regarding viscosity and liquid densities
