The TTS Glow Stacking Discs Pole is the dedicated wooden companion accessory for TTS rechargeable sensory stacking discs, available across Canada and the US from The Sensory Supply. Simple by design and rich in developmental purpose, this single wooden pole transforms loose disc play into a structured stacking, threading, and rolling experience that children from 10 months upward find genuinely captivating.
The pole is sold separately from the TTS Glow Stacking Discs, giving educators, therapists, and families the flexibility to add this accessory when it suits them. Together, pole and discs create an invitation to explore light, texture, and movement through purposeful construction play.
Key Features of the TTS Glow Stacking Discs Pole
-
Wooden construction - Made from solid wood so the pole provides a stable, satisfying centre point for stacking and threading activities, giving the discs a secure vertical anchor for open-ended play.
-
Designed for schematic play - The pole's upright format directly supports children's natural stacking, posting, and threading schemas, encouraging repeat engagement as children work through their developmental interests.
-
Compatible with TTS Glow Stacking Discs - Engineered to pair with the TTS rechargeable sensory discs (sold separately), enabling the full stacking and threading experience the disc system is designed for.
-
Sold individually - Available as a standalone accessory so settings and families can purchase the pole independently of the discs, or replace it as needed without buying the full disc set again.
Skills Your Child Develops with the TTS Glow Stacking Discs Pole
-
Fine Motor & Hand-Eye Coordination - Threading and stacking the discs onto the pole requires precise grip, release, and alignment, building the small-muscle control that underpins writing readiness and daily self-care tasks.
-
Spatial Awareness - Working out how to orient and position each disc on the vertical pole develops a child's understanding of space, size, and sequencing in a hands-on, tactile way.
-
Cause and Effect Understanding - Each disc placed on the pole produces an immediate, visible result, giving even very young children a clear and rewarding experience of action and outcome.
-
Schematic Play Behaviours - The pole actively supports stacking, posting, threading, and rolling schemas, encouraging children to revisit and deepen their understanding of how objects relate in space.
-
Sustained Concentration - The focused, repetitive nature of stacking onto a central post naturally supports attention development, making this a useful addition to sensory areas, calm corners, and early years classrooms.
Why the TTS Glow Stacking Discs Pole Belongs in Sensory Rooms and Classrooms
The wooden pole is a low-stimulation anchor in what is otherwise an exciting, light-activated play set. For children who are working on sensory regulation, the structured, predictable action of threading a disc onto a pole provides the kind of ordered, proprioceptive-adjacent input that supports focus and calm. In early years classrooms, it fits naturally into loose parts and construction areas, encouraging child-led exploration without direction. Occupational therapists will recognise the threading motion as a classic fine motor activity that builds the same hand skills targeted in sensory diet planning.
The pole works equally well in home sensory corners, nurseries, daycares, and therapy clinic playrooms - wherever the TTS Glow Stacking Discs are already in use or being considered.
Ideal for
- Babies and toddlers from 10 months and up exploring cause-and-effect play
- Early years educators building sensory construction and loose parts areas
- Families using TTS Glow Stacking Discs at home who want the full stacking experience
- Occupational therapists incorporating fine motor tools into sensory diet activities
- Neurodiverse and neurotypical children alike who are drawn to ordered, tactile construction play
- Schools, daycares, and therapy clinics seeking affordable accessory items to extend existing TTS sensory resources
