Packet of Nails - 100pcs

100 Pieces for Early Years Construction Activities - This Packet of 100 Nails is the perfect accessory for engaging early years construction experiences using tap tap resources. Designed for use with most mosaic and animal tap tap pieces and compatible cork boards, these metal nails are essential for hands-on design and building tasks. Each nail measures 1.2cm in length-ideal for small-scale activities where precision and fine motor control are needed.

Recommended for children aged 4 years and above, this nail set supports the development of coordination, planning, and early tool-use skills. When paired with child-safe wooden hammers and wooden tap tap shapes, children are empowered to build freely and creatively. Supervision is required to ensure the safe handling of the nails and to guide their use as part of structured or open-ended play.
