Colour Crystal Block Set - 25 pieces

The Colour Crystal Block Set - 25 Pieces by Commotion is a visually stunning and educational resource designed to support open-ended construction, mathematical exploration, and sensory play. With 25 transparent acrylic blocks in 17 unique shapes - both regular and irregular - this set offers limitless opportunities for creativity, patterning, colour exploration, and early STEM learning. This resource is ideal for use on a light panel, as part of a construction station or in loose parts play. It supports hands-on learning through colour, form, and spatial reasoning, and is designed for children aged 3 years and up.

Children can explore concepts such as shape recognition, symmetry, balance, and colour mixing by using the blocks independently or in guided activities. The inclusion of a mirror enhances exploration of reflective symmetry, while 15 work cards offer progressive challenges from simple pattern copying to complex 2D and 3D builds. A detailed teacher's guide supports educators with background information, suggested questions, and extension ideas to deepen the learning experience.

Set includes: 25 acrylic blocks in 17 different shapes, 1 plane mirror, 15 work cards, and an activity guide

Educational Benefits:
