Gonge Tactile River Stones

The Gonge Tactile River Stones bring a new dimension to the familiar concept of river stones, specially designed to provide a wide range of tactile sensations. This set of five stones is enriched with different materials such as cork, aluminum, foam, TPE rubber, and concrete. These materials are carefully selected to create variations in hardness, temperature, stickiness, roughness, and texture. As a result, all tactile sensors in the feet are activated, offering intensive and versatile stimulation.

Each stone is inspired by natural stepping stones in a river and varies in steepness and difficulty. The goal is to jump from stone to stone without touching the ground, with the position of the stones adjustable to adapt the challenge to the user's abilities. This makes the Gonge Tactile River Stones ideal for both free play and structured training.

Practicing on these stepping stones not only boosts confidence but also improves distance estimation, coordination, and trains both dynamic and static balance. The increased pressure on the forefoot due to the sloping surfaces enhances tactile stimulation, providing effective foot training.

For even more variety, the river stones can be combined with the Gonge Hilltops set, introducing additional height differences and further increasing the difficulty level. Additionally, the stones are stackable, ensuring space-saving storage.

Senso-Care offers these innovative Gonge Tactile River Stones, a valuable addition for any care professional, therapist, or teacher looking for effective and fun tools for motor and tactile development.
