Description
The Playsa Face Boy Wall Activity Panel is a heat-sensitive drawing surface in a cheerful boy and sun design. Children press their hands and fingers against the blue surface and watch temporary marks appear where their body heat touches the panel.
The marks fade back to the original blue background naturally, leaving a clean surface ready for the next child. No supplies, no cleanup, nothing to restock.

Temperature and Installation Requirements
Heat-sensitive panels perform best within a specific temperature range and require thoughtful placement. Read these before purchasing.
Made in the USA by Gressco Playscapes. Item 20-MGC-013. Two-year warranty. Mounting hardware and instructions included.
The heat-sensitive surface performs best when the room temperature is between 68 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit. If the room is too cold the surface will respond sluggishly to touch. If the room is too warm the surface may show color even when not in use. Most climate-controlled waiting rooms and offices fall within this range naturally, but it is worth confirming before installation.
Install the panel on an inside wall where the temperature is consistent throughout the day. Direct sunlight will affect surface responsiveness and shorten the life of the heat-sensitive material. Avoid mounting near windows, exterior walls with significant temperature variation, or heating and cooling vents that create localized temperature swings.
Clean with a soft damp cloth, general-purpose cleaner, or disinfectant spray. Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or abrasive materials as these will damage the heat-sensitive surface. For crayon or stubborn marks, De-Solv-It or Goo Gone are recommended. Most standard hospital-grade disinfectant wipes are ammonia-free and safe for this surface - check the label to confirm before use.
Where These Work Best
The heat-sensitive drawing surface fascinates children across a wide age range - the immediate visual feedback of marks appearing and fading is compelling and novel. Because the surface resets automatically, there is nothing for staff to reset, refill, or clean between patients. The panel requires no supervision, no supplies, and produces no mess, making it one of the most operationally low-maintenance activity panels available for a clinical waiting room.
The large open surface area gives children a canvas for drawing, tracing, and pattern-making using only their hands and fingers - no tools, no materials, no mess. For preschool and early elementary-age children who are developing fine motor control, the heat-responsive surface provides immediate visual confirmation of their movements in a way that is distinctly different from the tactile feedback of bead mazes and mechanical panels. It engages a different type of creativity than any other panel in the catalog.

Cleaning Your Waiting Area Toys
Keeping waiting area toys clean is simple when you use the right products. Our wall toys and activity panels are built with smooth, hard surfaces specifically designed to clean quickly and safely alongside other high-contact surfaces in your facility.
We recommend hospital-grade disinfectant wipes such as those from the PDI line, which are widely used in medical, dental, and therapy settings. When choosing a disinfectant wipe for your waiting area toys, look for the following:
| Effective against germs | Choose wipes that clearly state effectiveness against common bacteria and viruses. This information is listed on the packaging based on the wipe's active ingredients. |
| Safe for children and staff | Look for wipes labeled safe for use in environments where children are present. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions, including any hand-washing recommendations after use. |
| Low odor and low residue | Modern disinfectant wipes are designed to clean thoroughly without leaving harsh chemical fumes or irritating residue, making them ideal for enclosed spaces like waiting rooms and therapy clinics. |
| Fast drying | Most hospital-grade wipes air dry within approximately 90 seconds, allowing toys to be returned to use immediately with minimal downtime for your staff. |
| Surface compatible | Always confirm the wipe is appropriate for the surface being cleaned. Some formulations are not recommended for certain finishes, so checking the label prevents surface damage over time. |
| Environmentally conscious | Many disinfectant wipes are now made with biodegradable materials and reduced chemical concentrations, offering strong cleaning performance with a lower environmental footprint. |
Using the right disinfectant wipes keeps your waiting area toys clean, safe, and ready for the next child, while protecting both your patients and your staff. If you have questions about cleaning a specific product, we are always happy to help at help@sensoryedge.com or 800-734-8019.
