Organic Acrylic Block Set - Pastel - Set of 8

The Organic Acrylic Block - Pastel set features uniquely shaped blocks with pastel-coloured acrylic layers inside. When stacked or arranged, the blocks create beautiful colour illusions, offering a fun and engaging visual experience for children aged 18 months and up. The blocks can be played both vertically or flat on the tabletop, making them perfect for open-ended exploration, creative play, and fine motor skill development.

Educational Benefits:
This set encourages children to develop key skills such as spatial awareness, problem-solving, and fine motor coordination. As children stack, balance, and explore the blocks, they strengthen hand-eye coordination and learn about balance and symmetry. The varying colours and textures provide an excellent opportunity for colour recognition and visual exploration. The open-ended nature of the toy allows for imaginative play, fostering creativity and independent thinking.

Classroom Ideas:

• Balance and Stacking: Challenge children to build towers or sculptures with the blocks, helping them learn about balance, gravity, and stability.
• Colour and Texture Exploration: Discuss how the different colours and textures interact when the blocks are stacked, helping children explore colour theory and sensory awareness.
• Imaginative Play: Encourage children to use the blocks to create abstract designs, characters, or even miniature landscapes, sparking creative thinking and storytelling.
• Sorting Activities: Have children sort the blocks by colour or shape, enhancing their sorting and categorisation skills.
• STEM Learning: Integrate the blocks into STEM activities, using them to explore basic engineering concepts such as structure, stability, and problem-solving.

The Organic Acrylic Block - Pastel set is a versatile educational tool that enhances creativity, cognitive skills, and motor development in young children.
