Description
Key Features:
Soft and Safe Construction: The tunnel is made from soft, padded foam with a vinyl covering. This provides a safe, comfortable, and supportive surface for children to crawl and play in, reducing the risk of injury.
Durable Vinyl Cover: The vinyl covering is both durable and easy to clean, which is essential for maintaining hygiene in a clinical, school, or daycare setting.
Stable Design: The tunnel is designed to be stable and to resist tipping over, providing a secure environment for a child to move through.
Visually Appealing: It is often sold in bright, engaging colors to be attractive to children and encourage participation in therapy and play.
Latex-Free: Like many products from Performance Health, it is manufactured without latex to accommodate individuals with allergies.
Uses:
The Institutional Tunnel is a versatile tool used by therapists and educators to promote a variety of developmental skills in children. Its primary uses include:
Gross Motor Skill Development: Crawling through the tunnel helps to build strength and coordination in the arms, legs, and core. It is excellent for developing crawling and creeping patterns.
Proprioceptive and Tactile Input: The resistance of the tunnel's walls provides a sense of pressure and touch, which is important for children who need proprioceptive (body awareness) and tactile input.
Sensory Integration Therapy: The tunnel is a common tool in sensory gyms, where it can be used to help children with sensory processing disorders. The enclosed space can provide a sense of security for children who are overwhelmed by their environment.
Therapeutic Play: By incorporating the tunnel into play activities, therapists can make therapy sessions more engaging and enjoyable for children, encouraging them to work on their developmental goals in a natural way.
