With sensory toys to suit all ages and learning abilities, these sense-provoking toys provide fun and enjoyably encourage playfulness.

How Sensory Toys can help your child

Sensory toys are designed to engage your child's senses, helping them explore textures, sounds, and movements while supporting their development. These toys can promote relaxation, improve focus, and aid in motor skill growth. Sensory play has many benefits for children, and understanding how it connects to sensory processing and child development highlights its importance in shaping learning and behaviour.

Toys For The Sensory Discoverers

As your child grows from strength to strength, they will develop awareness about their senses. Sensory toys encourage children, especially those with sensory processing disorders, to interact with others, build a better personal understanding and boost their confidence.

Toys for The Sensory Searchers

Beginning to notice whether your child is experiencing signs of anxiety, autism, ADHD or any other diagnoses related to sensory, encouraging them to interact with certain sensory toys can develop their understanding and eliminate confusion around their frustrations.

In Store Quiet Hour

Across all stores in the UK, The Entertainer holds a quiet hour which helps create a calming environment for children with autism. We understand that shopping can be daunting for those who find crowds and loud noise overwhelming, which is why we have a daily quiet hour for the first hour of your local store opening. Lights are dimmed where possible and no music is played to create a welcoming, more relaxing environment. For more information about individual store opening hours, please visit our Store Finder.
