Sensory Direct bubble tubes are a calming, visually stimulating, sensory resource ideal for home or school use. In this case study we hear from mum Hayley and how a bubble tube is helping her daughter Thea to stay regulated.

 

The bubble tube creates such a soothing atmosphere!

Thea absolutely loves the bubble tube. It’s become a really calming part of her sensory space, and she often has it on in her room while she’s playing with her barbies. The gentle lights and movement help her stay regulated while she’s doing something she enjoys.

It’s also part of her bedtime routine now — we pop it on as she’s winding down for the night, and it creates such a soothing atmosphere. It’s been such a lovely tool to support her with self-regulation in a way that feels really natural and comforting to her.

 

Sensory Direct Bubble Tubes

Bubble tubes are typically used to create a calm, relaxing environment. The gentle ebb and flow of the bubbles, together with the colour changing lights  help soothe anxious or stressed bodies. This makes them ideal for supporting self regulation, managing meltdowns or used as part of a quiet space for relaxation. Bubble tubes are also great for;

  • Providing visual stimulation.
  • Improving visual tracking of bubbles and fish.
  • Teaching cognitive skills (colours/sequences etc).
  • Gaining attention and starting conversation.

Sensory Direct bubble tubes are available in 3 sizes - 60cm, 90cm and 120cm, starting from just £18.95. Some options come with fish or coloured balls and others with remotes, allowing the user to control the colours, lights and brightness. For larger sensory rooms we also stock larger sizes (up to 150cm), waterless options up to 180cm or cost-effective sensory room bundles.
