Enhance your Connetix Ball Run creations with the Pastel Ball Pack! This set includes 16 wooden balls in 8 beautiful pastel colours, making it the perfect addition to your Connetix Ball Run Pack. The vibrant colours - Berry, Rose, Lemon, Peach, Mint, Emerald, Violet, and Sapphire, add an extra layer of fun and creativity to your designs, while also providing a great opportunity to explore colour recognition and sorting.

Whether you're replacing lost balls or looking to expand your collection, this Pastel Ball Pack is designed to complement your existing Connetix sets and take your ball run fun to the next level.

Educational Use:

• Colour recognition and sorting: The variety of colours helps young children with colour recognition and sorting activities, promoting cognitive development.
• Supports fine motor skills: Rolling and handling the balls helps improve hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as children manipulate the balls through their ball runs.
• Enhances creativity: By adding more balls in different colours, children can experiment with different designs and challenges in their ball run creations, encouraging open-ended play and imagination.
• Expands ball run play: This set is ideal for complementing and expanding your existing Connetix Ball Run Pack, allowing for larger, more complex, and more varied ball run designs.
• Sensory exploration: The tactile experience of handling the smooth wooden balls provides sensory stimulation, helping children explore textures and refine their sensory processing.

Classroom Ideas:

• Colour Sorting & Counting: Encourage children to sort the balls by colour and count how many balls of each colour they have. This helps develop numeracy skills and colour recognition.
• Ball Run Challenges: Use the pastel balls to create different ball run challenges, such as testing which colours roll faster or which combinations create the most exciting paths.
• Team Play: Have children collaborate in groups to create large-scale ball runs, using the pastel balls as "racing" elements to compete against each other and see whose design is the most efficient or creative.
• Exploring Patterns: Introduce pattern-making by having children use the different coloured balls to create patterns within their ball runs, promoting early math skills and creative thinking.
• STEM Exploration: Combine with other Connetix sets to explore basic STEM concepts such as motion, force, and gravity, and experiment with how the different coloured balls interact in various tube configurations.
