The Jonti-Craft See Thru Sensory Table 24-1/2" High is a transparent acrylic sensory table sized for preschool, kindergarten, and early primary classrooms, available now across North America at The Sensory Supply. At 24-1/2" high, this is the standing-play height for children roughly aged 3 and up - taller than the 20" Toddler version by 4.5 inches, and proportioned for the children who have outgrown the toddler configuration but spend their days at preschool or kindergarten tables.

Like its sibling, the defining feature is the see-through acrylic construction. Children playing at this table can observe their materials through all sides of the tub, not only from above. That 360-degree visibility adds a consistent visual dimension to tactile exploration and gives educators uninterrupted sight lines for supervision without needing to stand directly over the table. The 9" depth contains water, sand, and sensory materials effectively during active play, keeping the surrounding floor clean. Locking wheels allow the table to move easily between rooms or outdoor areas and lock securely during use. A matching see-through acrylic activity cover is included.

Key Features of the Jonti-Craft See Thru Sensory Table 24-1/2" High

• Transparent Acrylic Tub for 360-Degree Visual Access - The see-through acrylic construction allows children to watch materials from all sides of the tub, adding a visual sensory dimension to tactile play while providing educators with full sight lines for supervision without interrupting the activity
• 9" Deep Splash-Minimising Tub - The 9-inch depth contains water, sand, and sensory materials effectively during active play, keeping the surrounding floor clean and reducing the adult intervention that shallow tubs require in busy classroom settings
• 24-1/2" Standing Height for Preschool & Primary Children - At 24-1/2"H, the table is sized for comfortable independent standing access by children from approximately 3 years upward, supporting active, engaged sensory table play without straining, stooping, or overreaching
• Locking Wheels for Portability & Safety - Four locking wheels allow the table to move effortlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces, different rooms, or storage areas, and lock firmly in position during use to prevent movement during active play
• Matching See-Through Acrylic Activity Cover Included - The included cover is also transparent acrylic, allowing the table to be used as a flat activity surface with full visibility maintained; it also covers and protects sensory materials between sessions
• High-Quality Transparent Acrylic Construction - Built to withstand the rigorous daily use of preschool and early childhood settings; the acrylic material is durable, impact-resistant, and easy to wipe clean between activities
• Indoor and Outdoor Use - The materials and construction make this table suitable for both indoor sensory play sessions and outdoor water and sand play without concern for surface damage
• Made in Canada - Team to verify: the 20" Toddler version is confirmed as Made in Canada. The existing description for this 24-1/2" version does not include this detail. Please confirm whether this variant is also manufactured in Canada and update the product page accordingly if confirmed

What to Fill the Sensory Table With

The transparency of this table makes it particularly rewarding with materials that benefit from being seen from all sides:

• Water with food colouring, floating objects, and pouring tools - enhanced by the see-through tub as children observe water movement from the sides
• Fine or kinetic sand - for texture exploration, impressions, and structures visible from all angles
• Dried pasta, rice, or pulses - classic sensory bin materials that provide tactile richness; the transparent sides allow children to see materials in motion as they sift and pour
• Foam and bubbles - soap foam is a children's favourite; the see-through design lets children watch foam accumulate from outside the tub
• Natural loose parts - stones, shells, leaves, water beads, and conkers create rich tactile and visual small world environments inside the transparent tub
• Art and messy play materials - paint, clay, dough, and gel materials with tools for a structured creative sensory session

Skills & Development Supported at the Jonti-Craft Sensory Table

• Tactile Discrimination & Sensory Processing - Handling, sorting, pouring, and immersing hands in varied sensory materials develops tactile discrimination and supports sensory processing in a natural, play-based context
• Visual Processing - The transparent tub adds a consistent visual dimension to tactile play; watching materials move through clear acrylic sides engages and develops visual tracking and visual attention
• Fine Motor Skills - Scooping, pouring, filling, emptying, and manipulating objects in the tub all develop the hand and finger control that underpins writing, dressing, and daily independence
• Cause & Effect Understanding - Pouring water, pushing sand, and compressing materials all generate immediate, observable responses that build foundational scientific thinking through direct experience
• Language & Communication - Describing textures, naming materials, narrating play sequences, and sharing the sensory table with a peer generates rich, naturalistic language development in a genuinely motivating context
• Social Development & Collaborative Play - The 37" width accommodates two or more children playing simultaneously, creating a natural setting for parallel and cooperative exploration, turn-taking, and shared discovery
