Teachables - Acrylic Coloured Cylinders - 70 Pieces

Bring colour, light, and tactile learning together with the Teachables: Acrylic Coloured Cylinders - 70 Piece Set. These vibrant, transparent cylinders are made from smooth acrylic and measure 5cm in length and 1.5cm in diameter-perfectly sized for small hands. Whether used with the Teachables Wooden Peg Board or as standalone loose parts, this versatile set supports a wide range of open-ended and sensory-rich learning experiences.

Ideal for light boxes, these coloured rods come alive when illuminated, enhancing colour exploration, visual perception, and pattern-making. Their uniform shape makes them excellent tools for stacking, sorting, and building, while their bright palette supports colour recognition and creative construction.

Children can explore symmetry, sequence, balance, and design in endless combinations, building cognitive and creative confidence.
