Discovery Shape Discs Set of 4

The Blue Ribbon Shape Discs Set of 4 is a delightful educational toy designed to engage children in learning about shapes, movement, and visual effects. Each layer of the geometric frame in the discs features unique prints that represent various visual effects such as bounce, dissolve, fly in, and pinwheel.

Children can rotate the layers to customise and alter the visual effects, encouraging their creativity and enhancing their understanding of geometric concepts.

This set includes four sets of discs Triangle, Hexagon, Circle, and Square, allowing children to explore different shapes while observing how they interact with movement and visual effects. These discs introduce the idea of sequencing, help children develop spatial awareness, and enhance fine motor skills as they manipulate the layers to create new animations. The dynamic and interactive nature of the toy fosters curiosity, making it perfect for engaging young minds in both classroom and home settings.
