Getting to the heart of who they are… Sensory Toy Warehouse is a treasure trove simply bursting at the seams with exciting and inspiring sensory toys, resources and equipment, providing opportunities for actively engaging adults, the elderly, and people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or following a stroke or brain injury, in meaningful and enjoyable person-centred activities.

Colourful, interesting and fun, our sensory products draw on the long-term memory, triggering treasured memories, and a combination of skills including cognitive, physical, social, emotional and sensory skills.

With an extensive choice of age- and stage-appropriate resources including reminiscence, nostalgic and classic past-time toys, games and activities, these purposeful, and very often entertaining and amusing, activities help to promote a sense of well-being, achievement, success and independence at all levels.

Sensory Toy Warehouse has a wide range of sensory and reminiscence products, rummage boxes and activities, developed especially for the elderly, and those living with dementia and for those caring for them.

Reminiscence toys and activities can help the mood and behaviour of individuals, improving the ability to perform daily activities and build relationships with others.

Sensory activities open a window of opportunity for communication and connection, promoting participation and social skills, improving mood, and reducing agitation, anxiety, boredom and apathy.

Ideal for the challenges faced by Activity Co-ordinators and Occupational Therapists, and meeting the needs of families, professionals, care facilities and communities, our sensory delights stimulate all of the senses, and essentially lead to a more fulfilled, worthwhile and happier quality of life.
