Quercetti - Pegboards and Pegs

The Quercetti Pegboards and Pegs set offers a fun and creative way for children to engage in making peg mosaics. This set includes four pegboards that can be connected together using the red connectors, allowing for endless arrangement possibilities. Children can choose from 616 pegs in four different sizes (5mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm) and begin composing pictures or inventing their own designs. The activity encourages creativity, supports fine motor skill development, and enhances hand-to-eye coordination as children work on patterning and sequencing tasks. Perfect for young learners to explore colour recognition and develop their spatial reasoning. The pegboards are ideal for individual or group activities, making it an excellent addition to any classroom or learning environment.
