Discover hands-on learning through colour and movement with the MTA Translucent Sorting Tray & Crystals! This vibrant set is a playful and purposeful way to support children's development across multiple domains while engaging them in open-ended colour sorting activities. With 6 translucent sorting bowls, 48 coloured crystals and a set of colour-matching tongs, children are encouraged to explore early maths concepts while strengthening their fine and gross motor skills.

This activity is perfect for small group play or individual exploration. Using the tongs to transfer the crystals into matching bowls not only develops dexterity and coordination but also builds essential hand strength for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, using scissors and dressing. The translucent design makes this set especially captivating when used on a light panel, adding a glowing, sensory-rich dimension to sorting and classifying play.
