Stariflex Knotted Fibre Optic Tails

Touch, twist and explore with the Stariflex Knotted Fibre Optic Tails - one of the most cleverly designed fibre optic products. Jumbo, thick, bamboo-style tactile fibre optic tails with a 'knotted' or 'knobbly' effect outer sheathing. That textured outer sheathing adds an entirely new tactile dimension to the visual sensory experience, making these tails dramatically more tactile and engaging to handle than smooth standard fibre optic tails.

Designed around accessibility-friendly thicker diameter, the format is brilliant for varied users. Where standard fibre optic tails are slim, these jumbo-sized tails provide a wider pin of light for easier viewing - particularly valuable for children with visual impairments or anyone who finds tiny pinpricks of light hard to see. The larger surface also delivers more tactile feedback opportunities, making the strands easier for people of all ages and motor abilities to hold, manipulate and explore.

The 'knotted' bamboo-effect sheathing is what really sets these apart. As fingers run along the tails, the textured bumps provide rich tactile feedback that complements the visual stimulation beautifully. The sheathing also makes the tails more robust and easier to handle than thinner tails - genuinely durable for daily institutional use. Light source is included with this model. Brilliant for children with sensory processing differences, autism, complex needs or anyone who responds well to combined tactile-visual sensory input.
