Cause and Effect Sensory Light Box

Available both on Android and ios, Sensory Light Box gives you 21 different sound and light functions that react to touch. Bubbles, rain, glow worms and flowers are among the functions available to the user. As you drag  across the screen a collection of bubbles will follow your finger making a bubbling sound. When you remove your hand the, the sound stops. The more fingers you use the louder the sound becomes. Scenes interact differently and respond to  various combinations of taps, presses, sweeping and controlled movements. 

 

The app encourages development and basic awareness of touches and gestures through exploration and play.Sensory light box was designed originally as an application to understand cause and effect for young people with more profound needs, but it is also a fantastic relaxation and calming tool as children are instantly rewarded for their touch. Connecting the device to the interactive whiteboard can also  transform the classroom into a multi-sensory room. 

 

I have used the application to create sensory stories with the interactive white board. A highly engaging app that can teach cause and effect but also can be used as a visual stimulus to engage children during story time and as a calming down tool.
