Tickit Easy Hold Glow Panel – Exploring light and colour through play

Tickit Easy Hold Glow Panel

The first time we put this panel on the table, the room went quiet. Not silent. Just calmer. And that was unexpected.

The Tickit Easy Hold Glow Panel doesn’t ask for much. You switch it on. It lights up. That’s it. But once it’s on, children start bringing things over. A coloured shape. A piece of fabric. Something transparent they found earlier. And suddenly they’re looking. Really looking.

We made this panel so it could be used without instructions. The handles are there for a reason. Children pick it up, move it, place it where they want. Sometimes on the floor. Sometimes on a table. Sometimes it ends up somewhere in between. And that’s fine.

Because the light stays soft and even, it doesn’t rush them. It doesn’t flash. It doesn’t demand attention. It just sits there, doing its job. That’s why it works so well in sensory and snoezel spaces, but also in classrooms and early years settings where things can get busy quickly.

Honestly, what stands out most is how long children stay with it. There’s no goal to reach. No button to press next. They compare colours. They notice shadows. They try the same object again, just to see if it looks different this time.

The panel itself is sturdy. We needed it to be. It gets used every day. Wiped down. Picked up. Put away. The surface is smooth and easy to clean. And because there are no loose parts or complicated settings, it never feels like something you have to “manage”.

You turn it on. You let it be. And when the moment’s over, you switch it off.

Think of it like a quiet pause in the middle of play. The Tickit Easy Hold Glow Panel doesn’t lead. It doesn’t teach. It simply creates the space where discovery happens on its own.
