There is something quietly irresistible about a wall covered in sequins. Run your fingers across the surface, and a hidden colour emerges from beneath - one slow sweep revealing a whole new palette. The TTS Sequin Grass Boards bring that same instant magic to classrooms, sensory rooms, calm corners, and play spaces across North America, combining tactile exploration with genuine creative expression.
This set includes two large sequin grass boards, each with flip sequins mounted in a sturdy wooden frame on a green grass-pattern backing. Children can draw with their fingers, trace letters and shapes, sweep the whole surface smooth, or simply explore the texture for as long as they need to. The boards are wall-mounted with pre-drilled holes for straightforward installation - fixings are not included.
Key Features of the TTS Sequin Grass Boards
- Two Large Boards Included - A set of two grass-design sequin boards that gives classrooms and therapy spaces generous wall coverage without the need to purchase separately, making them ideal for paired activities, side-by-side exploration, or display arrangements.
- Flip Sequin Surface - The two-colour flip sequin fabric reveals a contrasting colour with every stroke, providing immediate visual feedback alongside tactile stimulation - an engaging combination that holds attention and invites repeated interaction.
- Sturdy Wooden Frame - The sequin fabric is encased in a robust wooden frame built for daily use in early years settings, classrooms, and therapy rooms, ensuring the boards maintain their structure and appearance over time.
- Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes - Supplied with pre-drilled holes for wall mounting (fixings not included), the boards can be positioned at child height for easy access and remain securely in place during active use.
- Wall-Mounted Design - Suitable for indoor use only; must be wall mounted. The upright surface encourages children to work at shoulder and arm level, naturally supporting the shoulder pivot and arm sweep movements used in early writing readiness.
- Suitable from Age 3+ - Appropriate for children aged three and above, fitting comfortably into nursery, early years, and primary classroom settings.
Skills Children Build with the TTS Sequin Grass Boards
- Fine Motor Skills & Hand-Eye Coordination - Swiping, tracing, and mark making on the sequin surface builds the precise finger and hand control that children need for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, and self-care, while also developing the hand-eye coordination that underpins early literacy and numeracy.
- Gross Motor Development - Working across the full width of the boards encourages large arm sweeps and shoulder pivot actions, developing the gross motor strength and range of motion that supports later handwriting, sports, and physical independence.
- Tactile Sensory Exploration - Stroking the sequin surface delivers repeatable, consistent tactile input that children can seek, control, and regulate - making these boards a valuable addition to any sensory diet or calming routine.
- Visual Sensory Stimulation - The colour-reveal mechanic gives children an immediate visual reward for every movement, supporting visual tracking, cause-and-effect understanding, and sustained attention through an activity that is genuinely satisfying to repeat.
- Creative Expression & Mark Making - Drawing patterns, writing letters, or designing free-form images on a surface that resets with a single swipe builds creative confidence and supports early literacy skills without the pressure of permanence.
- Emotional Regulation & Self-Calming - The repetitive, rhythmic nature of sweeping the sequins smooth is naturally soothing, offering children a self-directed calming strategy that works well in classroom cool-down zones, sensory corners, and therapy transitions.
- Motor Skills in Developmental Play - Developing fine motor control through an element of play is central to the board's value; it meets children where they are, building developmental skills without making the activity feel like directed learning.
- Cognitive Engagement & Pincer Grip - Using fingers or tools to create targeted marks on the sequin surface encourages pincer grip development, supporting the precise grip strength that children use in writing, colouring, and manipulation of small objects.
Supporting Sensory Integration and Therapeutic Play
Tactile input is one of the most foundational sensory channels - and for many children, having a reliable, safe surface to touch, stroke, and explore has a direct calming effect on the nervous system. The TTS Sequin Grass Boards deliver that input in a format that feels inviting rather than clinical. For children with sensory processing differences, the predictable cause-and-effect of the flip sequins provides the kind of controlled tactile experience that supports self-regulation and sensory integration. For neurotypical learners, the boards are simply engaging - the shimmering surface and the satisfaction of a single smooth sweep make them impossible to walk past without reaching out.
Occupational therapists and early years practitioners will recognise the boards as a versatile addition to any sensory diet, calm corner, or fine motor programme. Schools and nurseries benefit from their durability and low-maintenance design. Families building sensory spaces at home will appreciate how naturally the boards fit into a wall-mounted display without requiring specialist installation.
