Natural Spaces - Large Wooden Block Double Set - 6 Pieces

The Natural Spaces Large Wooden Block Double Set offers a vibrant and reflective construction experience for early learners. This six-piece set combines two distinct sensory elements - scratch-resistant mirrors and coloured acrylic panels - inviting children to explore light, colour, reflection, and engineering through play. Each block is crafted from FSC-certified timber and includes two built-in panels: either coloured acrylic (in red, yellow or blue) or mirrored surfaces. Designed for open-ended STEM discovery, this set merges visual intrigue with hands-on construction in a way that captivates young learners.

Children can use these large blocks to build structures, experiment with balance, create colourful shadow displays, or reflect their surroundings. The blocks encourage purposeful engagement in activities that support science, technology, engineering and maths learning in early years education. The tactile and visual variety of this set promotes sensory exploration, collaboration and critical thinking.

Set includes:

• Mirror blocks (BE35105)
• Coloured acrylic blocks (BE35104)
