Millennium Fellowship Project: Tactile Tales
Tactile Tales is a design initiative aimed at helping children with ADHD develop better bedtime routines. Through a Modular Multisensory Puzzle, the project addresses the need for independent, engaging indoor activities that promote calmness and sensory comfort. The pillow combines the fun of puzzle-building with textures, sounds, and scents, allowing children to explore and engage while improving their fine motor skills. It also transitions into a cozy, body-hugging pillow, creating a sense of security and easing their way to sleep. By supporting children’s sensory needs and independence, the project hopes to improve sleep habits, reduce hyperactivity, and create a positive impact on families.
