Luminous Facetted Boulders - Pack of 12

Shine on with this amazing Luminous Facetted Boulder Set Pack of 12. With so many possibilities for use, this is a versatile addition to any continuous provision area. These unique, luminous boulders are attractive, engaging and ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Watch their faces "Ëœlight up' in awe as they watch what happens when the light bounces off them. Ideal for construction and stacking, and for firing imaginations, they are also ideal for supporting physical development and mathematical learning. These brilliant boulders come in four pearlescent/iridescent colours, making them even more appealing to children and giving them an almost ethereal feel. The set is made from R-ABS (recycled plastic), therefore making this resource a more sustainable choice for your learning environment. Light up their lives today!

As an educator, you'll find these boulders slot beautifully into loose parts play, construction areas, sensory invitations and maths provocations. Their facetted surfaces catch natural and artificial light, inviting close observation and experimentation, while their varied shapes encourage balancing, stacking and creative patterning. Outdoors, they become treasure stones, lava rocks or magical crystals; indoors, they work equally well on light boxes, mirrors or small-world landscapes. The sustainable R-ABS material means you can enjoy long-lasting, durable play pieces that support your service's environmental values as well as children's curiosity.

Educational benefits:

• Encourages early mathematical thinking through sorting, comparing, counting and creating repeating patterns with the boulders.
• Supports physical development as children reach, grasp, stack and carefully balance the facetted shapes.
• Promotes sensory exploration of light, colour and reflection as children notice how surfaces shimmer and change in different environments.
• Builds language and creative thinking as children describe colours, textures and shapes and weave imaginative stories around "magic"  boulders.

Classroom & play activity ideas:

• Add to a light box or near a window and invite children to explore how the boulders look under different light sources during the day.
• Use in construction and block areas as "special pieces"  for building towers, landscapes, castles or space scenes.
• Incorporate into maths sessions for sorting by colour, size or shape, or for simple counting and patterning activities.
• Place in a tuff tray with natural materials such as sand, pebbles and leaves to inspire small-world adventures and storytelling.
