    I have seen these in mulitsensory rooms and know they can be very expensive.
    They have them for €25 in home store it more.
    It changes colour and has bubbles in it and about 5 plastic fish.
    It's about 2 1/2 foot high I think.anyway ill try and attatch a picture of what it looks like.but for €25 yo-yos its a steal.
    I couldn't take a photo if mine as kids are around but it's very similar to this.

    Is it 2 and a half feet or is it way taller. A big one like in the picture would be good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭cathy01


    No it's not huge like the one in the pic.i just can't take a photo of it because its not dec. 24 :-) but for that price I think it's an excellent buy.ill try and put up picks tomorrow when shes at school or maybe try their website. ??

    What in gods name is a multisensory room? Is it like Jesse's gaff in Breaking Bad?

    It's a room designed to stimulate different sensors like hearing and sight .its of great benifit to kids with special needs ESP autism .
    It can help relaxation and can also help people connect as their senses are heightened so people that may be hearing impaired may love seeing the lights feeling the vibrations and the change of colour can be relaxing.
    HTH fair play for asking .

    I bought one years ago. In a quiet room the motor was quite loud. If you had music or whale songs on it wouldn't be too bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭cathy01


    Thanks I'm sure the sound of the two kids fighting over it will drown out a y noise.:-) was it this one you bought .is it ok ?

    Seen those in home store. They make good presents, also worth a look are the plasma ball which is identical to what they sell in the gadget shop (red5) and argos for €28-30 (€12.50 in HS). The turtle nightlight projector (€6) is €14+shipping on GrabOne so also looks like a good deal...
    Oh and if you sign up to HM mail/text newsletter you can get their offers a few days before the official sale...

    I got one for my son (ASD), loves it. Sat there for ages in front of it. Pretty quiet actually. Only issue is he took the lid off and threw a gi joe into it. Have to tape up the lid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭cathy01


    Great, I think my kids will love it.Good idea to tap the top shut.Water every where, and God only knows what would end up in it.
