Three tiles, three different movements
Watch a one-year-old with a new object and you'll see the same routine: poke it, push it, turn it over, try again. This set is built around that routine. The Trackball rolls, the Colour Wheel turns, and the Switches flick or press. Each tile asks for one clear action, and the result is easy to see straight away. That clear link between a movement and an outcome is what holds a 12-month-old's attention. Rolling and turning build the wrist and finger control children later use to twist a lid or hold a crayon. Flicking a switch is a small, deliberate pinch-and-press, a good early workout for the index finger and thumb.
Built to rearrange
The tiles are magnetic and made for the PlayTab modular activity board, which holds six tiles. The board is sold separately. Two Sensory Sets fill one board, so it's easy to build up a collection over time and swap tiles around as interests change. You don't need the board to get started. The tiles also work on their own, which is handy when a child wants to carry one around or you're sitting on the floor together.
Where it fits as they grow
At around 12 months, expect poking, rolling and plenty of repeating. By 18 months, children start to flick the switches on purpose and turn the wheel with a steady twist. From two, the play moves to rearranging the board, choosing which tile goes where and showing you how each one works. It makes a simple first activity toy that grows from exploring into showing off new skills.
