Ortek "Patterns" Tactile sensory carpet (4 + 48 pcs.)

The Ortek "Patterns" tactile sensory mat helps develop foot sensory perception, balance, and body control for children with special needs. The set includes 4 square mats and up to 48 tactile discs that children can attach to the mat's raised elements. This design turns the mat into not only a barefoot walking path but also a playful activity for the hands: children can sort discs by color, create mosaics, arrange shapes, repeat patterns, or create their own designs. The mats are sturdy, allowing for safe walking and a massage effect.

The set of tactile discs features 12 different texture types, providing a unique sensory experience with each step or touch. This is particularly beneficial for children with special needs who benefit from directed sensory stimulation and clear feedback through their feet and hands. The mat is suitable for use at home, in preschools, schools, therapy centers, occupational therapy, physical therapy, as well as a practical tool for daily movement breaks or sensory relaxation activities in sensory rooms.

Orthopedic mats support foot muscle work and arch strengthening. Regular barefoot walking on different surfaces can aid in foot development, balance, and coordination, while the massage effect reduces tension and fatigue in the feet after an active day.
