18 months & up. Let children explore color, texture, and light with this 20-piece set of translucent textured discs. Each durable disc measures 2.8" in diameter and displays an organic pattern inspired by water, ice, or sand. Children can handle and arrange the pieces for tactile exploration, patterning, color recognition, and seriation. The discs are designed for continued use indoors or outdoors and interact with natural light or a light table. Offer them as loose parts so children can compare surfaces, notice how light changes what they see, and invent their own arrangements. The open-ended format supports discovery without prescribing a single way to play.
The patterned surfaces give children a tactile point of comparison as they turn and sort the discs. A light source can reveal the translucent colors in a new way, while natural light makes the same materials useful beyond the light table. Educators can invite children to group discs by color or pattern, line them up in a sequence, or compare the designs. Each 2.8" disc is sized for individual handling, and the durable set can move between indoor and outdoor exploration.
Features
Twenty durable, translucent discs invite children to explore light, color, and texture through open-ended loose-parts play
Patterns inspired by water, ice, and sand give children distinct surfaces to touch, observe, and compare
Use the discs with natural light or a light table to extend visual discovery and notice how light interacts with translucent color
The pieces can be arranged for patterning, color recognition, and seriation while children create their own sequences
Suitable for continued indoor or outdoor use, giving educators flexibility to bring the same materials to different play settings
These are really cool, however, I would have imagined on a light table the colors & textures woukd be more vibrant and distinguishable. Not as I would have imagined.
