Two hundred glowing tails, each two metres long, each carrying soft, colour-shifting light to the tips of your fingers. TTS Fibre Optic Tails are genuinely magical - a hands-on sensory light experience that works just as well in a quiet corner at home as it does in a purpose-built therapy room or school sensory space. Available across Canada & the US from The Sensory Supply.

The tails emit a gentle, non-flickering light that shifts slowly through a spectrum of colours, creating the kind of atmosphere that invites people to slow down and pay attention. Children want to hold them, drape them, track the glow with their eyes. Adults find them just as captivating. That combination of looking and touching is doing real sensory work - supporting visual tracking, encouraging tactile exploration, and providing the kind of calm input that helps regulate the nervous system without demanding anything from the user.

Key Features of the TTS Fibre Optic Tails

• Soft, Calming Light Output - emits a gentle, colour-changing glow that reduces visual overload and supports a calm sensory environment, making it a reliable foundation element for any multi-sensory room setup
• Dual Visual and Tactile Stimulation - engages both the sense of touch and sight simultaneously, providing a rich sensory experience without the need for screens, noise, or complex equipment
• Safe, Non-Heating Materials - the tails remain cool at all times and are designed to withstand daily stretching and even chewing, so they are safe for hands-on use with children and adults alike
• Versatile 2-Metre Length - the generous length gives flexibility in setup, whether draped over a padded surface, gathered in a lap, arranged in a sensory corner, or integrated into a larger multi-sensory room installation
• Built for Daily Use - constructed for durability in educational and therapeutic environments where sensory tools are in constant hands; withstands the rigours of repeated handling without degrading

Sensory Systems and Therapeutic Context

Fibre optic tails are a well-established tool in occupational therapy and sensory integration practice. Their visual appeal creates a natural focal point for attention without demanding active participation, which is valuable for individuals who benefit from low-demand sensory environments. The tactile element - holding the cool, smooth tails and feeling the light pass through - provides proprioceptive and tactile input that supports self-regulation.

The tails do not generate heat, meaning they are genuinely safe to handle, explore, and even mouth - an important feature in educational and therapeutic settings where chewing and mouthing behaviour is part of a child's sensory profile. The slow, continuous colour change avoids the sharp visual transitions that can cause sensory overload, making this product especially well-suited to calm corners, quiet spaces, and winding-down routines.

Paired with the TTS Fibre Optic Light Source (sold separately), the tails integrate seamlessly into existing sensory equipment. Note: the light source is not included with this product.
