Colour Blocks - Set of 24

The Colour Blocks - Set of 24 is a vibrant and versatile resource designed to support creativity, problem-solving, and open-ended exploration in early years learning. Each block is crafted from smooth, durable wood and features a brightly coloured insert, providing children with a visually engaging and tactile construction experience. The transparent coloured panels allow light to shine through, creating opportunities for experimentation with colour mixing, shadow play, and sensory exploration. Perfect for building, stacking, and small-world setups, these blocks also encourage mathematical thinking through shape recognition, balance, and symmetry. The Colour Blocks are equally suited to indoor and outdoor use, whether on a light table, against a sunny window, or as part of imaginative play scenarios. Their size and shape make them easy for small hands to grasp, supporting fine motor development while inspiring children to experiment and create.
