Sensory Hive | Creative Activity

At Creative Activity, we're proud to offer the Sensory Hive, a fully customisable, mobile sensory solution that transforms any space into a calming or stimulating environment. Its unique hexagonal shape and fully padded interior make it ideal for spaces without dedicated sensory rooms or for those that need sensory resources on the go. From healthcare to hospitality and education, the Sensory Hive is designed for versatility, delivering immersive sensory experiences wherever they're needed.

 

Portable Sensory Support for Any Space

The Sensory Hive is an ideal solution for any setting that lacks a dedicated sensory room or needs sensory resources on the go. Its mobility and adaptability allow users to create a fully functional sensory environment in places where space is limited or multiple rooms need to share sensory equipment.

Revolutionizing Sensory Spaces in Education

In education settings, the Sensory Hive offers unmatched flexibility. Schools and institutions often have limited space, and dedicated sensory rooms are not always feasible. This is where the Sensory Hive becomes a game-changer, providing a fully functional sensory environment that can be moved from classroom to classroom or across different departments.

  • Special Educational Needs (SEN) Schools: For schools supporting students with special needs, particularly those with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorders, the Sensory Hive serves as a calming space that can be easily wheeled into classrooms or therapy rooms. Teachers and therapists can deliver personalized sensory experiences tailored to each child’s needs, fostering emotional regulation and promoting focus.

  • Mainstream Schools: In mainstream schools, the Sensory Hive can support students who might need a break from overstimulation or a quiet place to focus. Its portability allows educators to set up a temporary sensory space in any classroom, library, or multi-purpose room, offering students a refuge without requiring a dedicated sensory room.

  • Therapy and Breakout Sessions: The Sensory Hive is a fantastic resource for group or one-on-one therapy sessions. It can be moved into different rooms throughout the day, offering students a private, interactive sensory space that supports engagement, relaxation, and sensory exploration. Whether for sensory therapy, reading interventions, or emotional regulation, the Sensory Hive’s customisable features provide the right environment.

Healthcare Settings: Sensory Care Wherever It's Needed

In hospitals, clinics, and therapy centers, the Sensory Hive allows caregivers and clinicians to offer tailored sensory experiences across departments, wards, and therapy rooms.

  • Pediatric Wards: The Sensory Hive can move from room to room, giving children in hospitals a calming sensory retreat to reduce stress and anxiety during their stay.

  • Rehabilitation and Therapy: Patients recovering from brain injuries, trauma, or dealing with sensory processing challenges can benefit from the Hive's interactive features. Therapists can wheel it directly to treatment areas, providing a personalized sensory environment for sessions.

  • Senior and Dementia Care: In care homes or dementia units, the Hive can be a crucial tool to promote relaxation and reduce agitation among elderly residents, bringing sensory therapy directly to them.

Stress-Free Stays for Families in Hospitality

The Sensory Hive can be a lifesaver for families staying at hotels, especially those with children who require sensory stimulation to manage their emotions and behavior. For children with sensory processing disorders, autism, or ADHD, traveling and staying in unfamiliar environments can be overwhelming. The Sensory Hive offers a flexible, stress-relieving solution that can move to wherever it’s needed within the hotel.

  • Wheeled Around the Hotel: Whether it’s set up in a family suite, a designated quiet area, or a kids’ club, the Sensory Hive can be easily moved around the hotel to different locations. Families can request it for their room, or it can be stationed in a common area for shared use. This mobility makes it convenient for hotels to offer sensory support in various settings without dedicating a permanent space.

  • Creating a Safe Space for Kids: For children who rely on sensory stimulation to stay calm, the Hive creates a personalised sensory environment that helps them relax, reducing stress for both the child and their family. Whether it’s calming bubble tubes, fibre optic cables, or interactive panels, the customisable features cater to each child's needs, creating a safe, sensory-rich haven during their stay.

  • Guest-Friendly Option: Hotels can use the Hive to create sensory-friendly spaces in wellness centers or offer them for special events where families with sensory-sensitive children are attending. With the Hive, hotels can provide extra value to guests who are looking for ways to manage sensory needs while traveling.

Versatility for Corporate and Public Spaces

The Sensory Hive can also be a fantastic asset in corporate wellness programs, public spaces, and temporary sensory setups.

  • Corporate Wellness: Companies looking to prioritize employee well-being can use the Sensory Hive as a portable wellness pod, offering a sensory break during busy workdays. Its mobility means it can be set up in different areas of the office, providing employees with a quiet, immersive space.

  • Public Events: Pop-up sensory spaces are increasingly in demand at festivals, exhibitions, and other public events. The Sensory Hive allows event organizers to create sensory-friendly areas for individuals who may feel overwhelmed by the crowd or noise, improving accessibility for all.
