Natural Spaces - See Through Coloured Blocks -24pc

This set of 24 see-through wooden coloured blocks is a vibrant and engaging addition to any early years classroom. Each lightweight block is made from FSC-certified plywood and features a durable, transparent coloured acrylic insert. Designed to complement standard project block sets, the blocks include a variety of familiar shapes-squares, rectangles, semi-circles, quarter circles, and right-angled triangles-with all pieces scaled in proportion to the 13.3cm square. The set features six bold colours-red, green, yellow, blue, orange, and purple-that bring a rich visual dimension to building and light-based play.:

These blocks are ideal for developing spatial awareness, shape recognition, and early geometry skills while encouraging sensory discovery through colour and light. Whether used on a light table, in a construction zone, or as part of a small world setup, these open-ended resources inspire children to build, create, investigate, and collaborate. The combination of natural timber and colourful acrylic encourages curiosity, experimentation, and critical thinking through hands-on learning. These blocks also support imaginative play, storytelling, and teamwork, making them a versatile and valuable addition to early childhood learning environments.
