Runes/6pc

These beautifully handcrafted felt Runes bring a touch of gentle magic to your learning environment. Each of the six pieces is stitched with a different symbol, inviting children to wonder what each mark might mean and how it could be used in a story, game or pattern. The cool blues, purples and greens create a calming palette that works wonderfully in sensory trays, small-world scenes or as tactile counting tokens. Easy to hold and move, these Runes invite sorting, sequencing and imaginative play while encouraging children to share ideas and collaborate during group activities.

Educational benefits

• Encourages rich language as children describe colours, symbols and the stories they create with the Runes.
• Supports early maths concepts such as counting, sorting, matching and simple patterning.
• Develops fine motor control and hand strength as children pick up, place and manipulate each piece.
• Promotes problem solving and creative thinking when children invent their own meanings and rules for games.

Classroom & play activity ideas

• Add the Runes to a sensory tray with sand or rice and invite children to press them in to make imprints.
• Use the pieces as story prompts, asking children to choose one Rune and create a short tale around its symbol.
• Incorporate the Runes into maths sessions for counting, simple addition or creating repeating patterns.
• Set them out in a quiet corner as calming fidget objects to support self-regulation and focused play.
