What Colour Are the Mittens?
The furry orange mittens are seen as pink when using the normal visible light spectrum, but glow bright orange when a UV light is used. The green mittens appear green, regardless of what light is used to view them, although they glow brighter when UV lights are used.
Encourages Self Expression
The Sensory Tactile UV Mittens are great for encouraging emotional expressions, which is fantastic for encouraging social interactions in those who find it hard to communicate verbally. Using the mittens to act out scenes, mimic actions and play other educational games is a great way for children with autism to develop their emotional intelligence.
Suitable for Tactile Hypersensitivity
Finding textures that people with sensory processing disorders enjoy can be extremely beneficial for emotional regulation. By choosing from the two different textures included with this purchase, users can get used to a single type of sensory input, allowing for improved focus and enjoyment during sensory play sessions.
These mittens glow vividly when exposed to UV light.
Perfect for Darkened Sensory Rooms
The bright colours of these mittens show up extremely brightly in a dark room that features ultraviolet lighting. This can create a fantastic and educational visual experience, highlighting the use of hands in particular body language postures or gestures. This can be extremely useful for teaching physical emotional cues via mirroring and mimicry.
Designed for People with Autism
The textures and materials used to create these mittens have been specifically chosen for people with sensory processing disorders. By getting two highly contrasting pairs of mittens you can ensure that a large percentage of sensory room users will enjoy one or the other.
Safety Information
