Pop-Up Tunnels - Various Sizes
Designed for curious movers, our Pop-Up Tunnel promotes full-body sensory input, proprioception, and motor planning. Whether crawling forwards, backwards, or navigating animal walks, children (ages 12 months – 6 years) strengthen core muscles, coordination, and spatial awareness. Add it to obstacle courses for extra challenge and fun! Lightweight, folds flat, and stores easily — a must-have for home or therapy.
What's included:
- 1 x Pop up Tunnel
- Length and Diameter is depending on the design
What our OT says:
Pop-up tunnels may look like simple play equipment, but they offer a powerful range of developmental benefits for young children — all while keeping playtime fun and engaging! Designed to support children from as young as 12 months up to around 6 years old, pop-up tunnels can be a valuable addition to any home, classroom, or therapy space.
1. Building Body Awareness and Sensory Integration
As children crawl through the tunnel, their bodies receive tactile stimulation from head to toe. This tactile input helps them learn where their bodies are in space — an important part of sensory integration. In addition, the pressure on their head and limbs while crawling provides proprioceptive feedback, helping to develop body awareness, stability, and control.
2. Supporting Motor Planning and Coordination
Crawling through a tunnel isn’t just fun — it’s hard work for little bodies! As children navigate forwards, backwards, or attempt different movement patterns such as animal walks, they are strengthening their core muscles, improving coordination, and practicing important motor planning skills. This helps lay the foundation for more complex physical tasks they’ll encounter as they grow.
3. Encouraging Kinaesthetic Awareness and Balance
Incorporating the tunnel into obstacle courses, especially when combined with cushions, beanbags, or soft mats, introduces new surfaces for children to crawl over. These varying textures and surfaces help children develop kinaesthetic awareness, improve balance, and refine their sense of movement.
4. Fostering Problem-Solving Skills
For children who enjoy an extra challenge, twisting the tunnel creates a unique problem-solving opportunity. As they work to untwist the tunnel from the inside, children engage their cognitive skills, build patience, and practice flexible thinking — all essential components of early learning and development.
5. Convenient and Space-Saving Design
One of the practical advantages of a pop-up tunnel is its easy fold-away design. Whether you're a parent at home, a teacher in the classroom, or a therapist in a clinic, the tunnel’s lightweight and portable nature makes it simple to store and transport while still offering a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

The most favourite birthday gift for my 5 year old grandson !
These stick-on toys are so versatile and easy to carry with you. I was surprised and delighted to find so many uses for them. Started using them at 6 month and they are still in play a year later.
Our grandson, Lukas, is sooo happy with these - he is 3 and looooves them.
Absolutely love this product. It's only the beginning, but it looks durable, well worth the price. Again, so much to do with this product!
This is such a fun activity to do, the possibilities are endless. I cannot wait for more stock to come in, I need more!
Ding Ding Ring is a hit in both therapy groups and family play. Children race to copy the card patterns with elastic bands, and the thrill of ringing the bell first keeps everyone excited and engaged.
It’s more than just fun, this game builds spatial awareness, sequencing, and motor planning skills while keeping kids laughing and motivated. A fantastic mix of learning and play.
I’ve found it to be quite a challenge for many children, which makes it a great tool for developing spatial awareness and understanding positional concepts. With toddlers, I start by giving simple instructions, like “put the farmer in front of the barn” or “place the chicken behind the farmer.” With older children, the graded copy cards add an extra layer of difficulty as they copy the scenes independently.
It’s a versatile game that targets language, comprehension, visual-spatial skills, and fine motor control all at once. Plus, the durability of the wooden pieces means it will last through many therapy sessions. A definite favourite in my practice!
We love using the wooden threading board in therapy! For little ones, it’s great for building fine motor strength as they push the pegs into the board. For older kids, the copy cards turn it into a fun challenge for concentration, planning, and visual skills.
It’s also fantastic for colour sorting, making patterns, and threading, each peg has a tiny hole at the top, so children need to hold it steady while threading, which builds both hand strength and coordination.
This board grows with your child, from simple play to more advanced activities. A durable, versatile toy that keeps kids learning while they play!
If you need a compact tool for hand strengthening, bilateral coordination, and matching, this set earns its space. It’s engaging and delivers lots of quality reps.
Quick delivery, excellent service and the child really enjoy the Tumbling monkeys. He was very excited about this toy. Awesome experience
From start to finish was such a pleasant experience. Well priced, great product, good comms through purchase/delivery process. Well packaged. Thank Tiny Tree Toys, I will definately be purchasing from you again!
My 18 month old, and my 3 year old both love playing with these piggy banks. They frequently ask for them. Sometimes we just feed the piggies the coins, but my older boy sorts the coins into the correct coloured pigs. He has also raced against a sand timer to fill them, and uses them in imaginative play. The boys can play with them at the same time, or alone (with supervision 😉). Such a versatile game. Well worth ordering!
My 3year old daughter is obsessed with the water beads, she takes just 1 every night, places it in the Barbie fridge with water for the following evening and then builds up a stash in other bowls. SO much fun for the older kiddos in the bath tub.
Good quality with an array of textures and sizes in pretty pastel colours
