Coloured Wooden Balls - 35 mm - Set of 12

The Coloured Wooden Balls set includes 12 vibrant 35mm wooden balls, perfect for loose parts play. Loose parts play is a child-led, open-ended activity that promotes creativity and exploration. Made from durable wood and finished with bright, non-toxic colours, these balls provide endless opportunities for imaginative play, helping children develop problem-solving skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness.

Educational Benefits:
These coloured wooden balls are an ideal tool for early childhood education. They encourage sensory exploration, as children feel the smooth texture of the wood while learning about colours and sizes. The open-ended nature of loose parts play allows children to design and create their own games, fostering critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, the balls can be used to develop fine motor skills as children manipulate, stack, and sort them.

Classroom Ideas:

• Colour Sorting: Use the coloured balls to teach children about colours and sorting. Challenge them to group the balls by colour, size, or pattern.
• Building and Stacking: Encourage children to build towers or structures, helping to develop their spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
• Math Exploration: Use the balls to introduce basic math concepts like counting, addition, and subtraction.
• Imaginative Play: Incorporate the balls into storytelling or pretend play scenarios. Children can use them as props for animals, characters, or objects in their stories.
• Sensory Play: Explore the different textures and colours of the wooden balls through tactile play, enhancing sensory development.

The Coloured Wooden Balls set is a versatile addition to any classroom, offering children endless opportunities for learning and creative play.
