Jumbo Sensory River Stones

Bring balance, beauty and sensory exploration to your learning space with the Guidecraft Jumbo Sensory River Stones. Designed with a nature-inspired focus, this stunning 10-piece set includes oversized, smooth-sanded beech wood stones with inset textures that engage children in tactile play while encouraging stacking, patterning and imaginative construction.

Each stone features gentle, natural colours and organic shapes, making them a calming addition to any early learning environment. The variety of textured surfaces - crafted from durable plastic - invites hands-on exploration, helping children aged 2 years and up build fine motor strength and develop tactile discrimination as they feel, flip, and arrange each piece.

Ideal for both individual and group activities, these versatile stones support creative expression, coordination and problem-solving, while also encouraging balance and spatial reasoning. Whether used on their own or paired with other natural materials, the Jumbo Sensory River Stones offer endless opportunities for meaningful sensory play.
