What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A set of textured rollers designed for early tactile exploration and sensory learning, originally included in APH's Sensory Learning Kit (SLK). Each roller has a distinct surface pattern that children can roll across skin, paper, or other materials to develop tactile discrimination — the ability to distinguish differences in texture through touch. This is a replacement part for the SLK system, so it only makes sense as a purchase if you already own or are building out that kit. It's discontinued, which means availability is limited and stock may not be replenished; contact APH directly to confirm whether any units remain.
