Masterkidz STEM Wall Gem Stones - 72 Pieces

The Masterkidz STEM Wall Gem Stones Set offers a vibrant, hands-on way for children to explore colour, pattern, and design while enhancing their fine motor and creative thinking skills. This set includes 72 colourful acrylic gems in six radiant colours-red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and blue. Designed to easily attach to the Masterkidz STEM Wall (sold separately), these gem stones feature raised edges that make them simple for children to grip, remove, and reposition, supporting open-ended design and sensory-rich play.

Ideal for creating colourful patterns, pictures, and geometric shapes, the gem stones help children visualise and express their ideas while promoting critical early learning outcomes. Whether working independently or in groups, children will be drawn to the bright, light-reflective surface of the gems, which brings their designs to life in a captivating, multisensory experience. Educators can use the gems to support lessons in colour recognition, classification, patterning, symmetry, and sequencing.

Made from durable, hard plastic, the gems are UV- and water-resistant, ensuring they maintain their vibrant colours and structure even with repeated indoor or outdoor use. Their smooth surface is easy to clean and disinfect, making them a practical and hygienic choice for any early years classroom.
