Intro

A tactile sensory wall is a lovely addition to a home. Its bright colours and intriguing textures will delight the eyes and intrigue the hands of anyone passing by. But before anyone can enjoy it, there’s a lot of fun to be had in the making! So first gather folk together who fancy getting crafty and get busy cutting, gluing and being creative.

The Activity

  1. Cut the card into 15cm by 15cm squares
  2. Take a texture, cut to size and stick it to the square, trimming away any excess
  3. Take the squares and glue them in rows of 6 to the strong board
  4. Place the squares in a random pattern
  5. Hang the textured board on a communal area where people can walk past an enjoy it!
