Grippies Shakers Set 30 Pieces

The Grippies Shakers Set adds a sensory-rich twist to the popular Grippies platform, introducing toddlers to the wonders of kinetic energy and auditory exploration. This 30-piece set includes magnetic rods of two sizes, each featuring transparent ABS plastic windows. Through these windows, little ones can observe sensory beads rattling down the rods, providing a calming and engaging acoustic experience. When connected to overmoulded metal ball connectors, the pieces allow for endless building opportunities while stimulating fine and gross motor skills. The tactile, soft plastic texture and vibrant colours make the pieces easy for small hands to handle, promoting independent and creative play. This set enhances early engineering skills, auditory development, and hand-eye coordination, all while encouraging exploration and problem-solving through building activities.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops auditory skills through the sound of rattling sensory beads
• Enhances fine and gross motor skills through manipulation of building pieces
