Questions
These sensory wall panels for nurseries and playrooms form a ten-panel Safari set, 350x65cm (138x26") in total. It's enough to fill a 3.5-metre wall. Each panel is 35cm wide and 65cm tall, and they mount edge to edge with no gap. It's the same Safari scene as our two five-panel sets combined into one continuous wall: a lake fringed with palm trees, moving through open savanna, and finishing in desert. The palette shifts from green through orange to yellow across the full run.
This is the largest set we make. At this width several children use it at once without waiting. That suits corridors, halls and communal rooms rather than a single play corner.
What is on the Safari sensory wall panels
Sliding tracks, spinning gears, latches, textured surfaces and moving parts. Ten panels, no two the same. A child moving along the wall meets a different action every 35cm.
The landscape runs across the full set. Lake and palm trees sit at one end, open savanna fills the middle, desert closes it out. Colour carries the journey - green fading to orange, then orange warming to yellow. It reads as one designed wall rather than ten boards hung in a row.
Safari sensory wall panels sizing and layout
Individual panel: 35 x 65 cm (14 x 26"). Because panels are wall-mounted, a 3.5-metre run adds no floor footprint at all.
You can also buy the set as two separate five-panel halves rather than one ten-panel order. Panels 1 to 5 cover the lake-to-savanna opening, and panels 6 to 10 continue into desert. Splitting the order this way suits a phased installation or a budget spread across two purchases. Ordering all ten together here is simpler if you know the full wall is going in at once.

Where Safari sensory wall panels for nurseries and playrooms make sense
- Nurseries and preschools - a corridor or hall wall that several children pass and use through the day; see our sensory wall panels for daycare range for smaller nursery configurations
- Schools - see our sensory wall panels for schools range for smaller classroom configurations
- Therapy and special education centres - see sensory wall panels for autism for calmer palettes
- Clinics and waiting areas - see our sensory wall panels for clinics range, or our guide to sensory walls in clinics for placement and cleaning specifics
- Family entertainment centres and indoor play - built for continuous use rather than occasional play
For a single room or a smaller corner, a five or six-panel set covers 175-210cm and costs far less. This ten-panel set suits spaces where the wall is genuinely long.

What it does
The elements give children something to open, turn, slide and trace. Those are the movements used for dressing, writing and everyday tasks, practised at a vertical surface rather than a table.
At 3.5 metres the wall does something a single panel cannot: it holds several children side by side. That tends to produce watching, copying and talking rather than turn-taking.
It is an activity product, not a therapeutic device. Where a child has specific developmental needs, ask an occupational therapist which activities suit them.
Used in nurseries, schools and clinics
81 reviews, 4.9 out of 5 - including a preschool that used panels to turn an empty hallway into a learning space, and a daycare owner who reports parents noticing it during tours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much wall do I need?
350cm in a single row, or 175cm stacked in two rows of five. Each panel is 35cm wide, so you can split the set across two walls or two rooms at 175cm each. You can also order fewer panels if 3.5 metres exceeds the space - our five-panel Safari set covers just the first 175cm. Send us your wall dimensions and we will suggest a layout.
Is ten panels too many for a classroom?
For a single classroom, usually yes. Five or six panels covering 175-210cm is the more common choice and costs far less. The ten-panel Safari sensory wall panels suit genuinely long walls: a corridor, a hall, a large communal room, or a play centre. If in doubt, measure first and tell us the number.
What age is it for?
The Safari theme and element mix suit toddlers through primary age. Mounting height decides a lot: lower for a toddler room, higher for older children, or two rows for a wide age range. For adult settings - memory care, rehabilitation - our sensory wall panels for adults use adult-scale elements and calm finishes instead.
How is it cleaned in a shared setting?
Surfaces are sealed and smooth for damp wiping, with no fabric or absorbent parts. Every element is fixed, so nothing needs collecting and sanitising separately. Do not soak the panels or clean them with harsh solvents - both damage the finish. If your setting specifies particular disinfectants, send us the details and we will confirm compatibility.
Can I order this as two five-panel sets instead of one ten-panel set?
Yes. Panels 1 to 5 and panels 6 to 10 are sold separately and combine into the same ten-panel scene. That split works well for a phased installation or a budget spread across two purchases.
Can the theme or elements be changed?
Yes. Every panel is made to order by hand. We can change the colour palette, swap element types, adjust panel count or match a brand scheme for a commercial space. Settings often ask for quieter elements where the wall sits near a treatment room or office. Send us what you need and we will quote it.
