Feel and Touch Zip Feelie – Fleece Sensory Activity Square
The M070 Feel and Touch Zip Feelie is a compact fleece sensory activity square with tactile zips. Designed for hands-on exploration, it offers a familiar fastening activity that can be enjoyed at home, in a care setting or as part of a supported activity routine. It may appeal to adults or children who enjoy repetitive hand movements, including some people living with dementia or learning disabilities.
A simple, familiar activity
The soft fleece feels comfortable to hold, while the zips provide something recognisable to open, close and explore. Some people enjoy having an activity for their hands while listening, talking or taking part in other tasks. Responses are individual: the feelie offers an opportunity for sensory engagement, not a guaranteed improvement in concentration or emotional wellbeing.
At approximately 23 × 25 cm, the square is small enough to hold or keep nearby when needed. Its anti-slip backing can help it stay in position on a suitable table or tray, although the surface and how the item is handled will affect grip. The portable format makes it easy to include in familiar daily routines.

Who might enjoy it?
The Zip Feelie can be offered to people who enjoy tactile activities and familiar fastenings, including some people with dementia, learning disabilities or additional sensory needs. The activity should be chosen according to personal preferences and abilities. It is not a treatment for dementia, ADHD, anxiety or depression, and it should not be relied upon to prevent distress or improve concentration.
Use and care
Place the feelie on a stable surface or offer it to the user to hold. Check the zips and seams regularly and stop using it if components become loose or damaged. Supervise use where the person may mouth small components or needs assistance. Follow the supplied cleaning guidance.
