Hexagon Discovery Discs

The Blue Ribbon Hexagon Discovery Discs offer a unique and interactive learning experience for children, featuring rotating layers that showcase vibrant visual effects like bounce, dissolve, fly-in, and pinwheel. As children explore the discs, they can customize their own visual effects by adjusting the layers, fostering creativity and encouraging them to understand the basic concepts of sequencing and animation.

Perfect for children aged 18+ months, this toy helps develop early skills in shape recognition, sequencing, and spatial awareness. It also encourages children to explore the world around them, engaging both their visual senses and fine motor skills.

Benefits for Educational Use:

• Shape Recognition and Sequencing: Children can learn about geometric shapes like hexagons and how changing the positioning of the layers affects the visual effects, supporting an understanding of sequencing.
• Early Visual Literacy: The dynamic, animated effects introduce young children to basic animation principles, sparking an interest in visual media and creativity.
• Fine Motor Skills Development: Rotating and adjusting the discs helps children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they manipulate the toy.
• Exploration and Curiosity: The interactive nature of the toy encourages exploration of how objects can change and move, fostering a deeper engagement with their environment and surroundings.
• Sights and Movement: By observing the effects of the animated geometry, children experience movement and color changes, which further stimulate their visual and sensory development.

Classroom Ideas:

• Custom Visual Effects: Allow children to experiment with rotating the layers of the discs and create their own unique visual effects, enhancing their creativity.
• Storytelling with Shapes: Use the effects as a tool for storytelling, guiding children to create simple visual stories or scenarios using the effects on the discs.
