Rainbow Window Block Set - 15 pieces

A Gem-Inspired Resource for Light, Pattern and Open-Ended Exploration - The Rainbow Window Block Set by Papoose is a captivating open-ended resource designed to stimulate creativity, sensory exploration, and early STEM learning. These beautiful timber blocks feature plastic gem-like inserts that catch and reflect light, making them perfect for light table play, shadow exploration, or Reggio-inspired learning environments.

Each bloc fits neatly into the included wooden tray for organised storage and display. Children aged 3+ years will be drawn to the vibrant colours and translucent qualities of the gems, engaging in play that promotes pattern making, colour sorting, symmetry, and imaginative construction. These blocks can be used alone or alongside other loose parts to build small worlds, transient art, sensory scenes, or as props in narrative-driven play. Their visual appeal, tactile quality, and versatility make them a rich addition to early childhood classrooms, sensory spaces, and creative play areas.
