Two Tone Wooden Balls - 35 mm - Set of 12

The Two Tone Wooden Balls - 35mm - Set of 12 is a versatile addition to any loose parts play collection. These beautifully crafted natural wooden balls feature a two-tone design, making them visually appealing and perfect for open-ended, child-led exploration. Suitable for children aged 3 years and up, these durable wooden balls are ideal for imaginative play, building, sorting, and creating.

Loose parts play is an educational approach that fosters creativity, problem-solving, and cognitive development. The two-tone wooden balls encourage children to explore different ways of arranging, stacking, and grouping the pieces, which helps to develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, children can use these balls in imaginative storytelling or as part of a construction project, promoting social skills and cooperative play.

Classroom Ideas:
In the classroom, the Two Tone Wooden Balls can be used in a variety of activities. Encourage children to stack or arrange the balls by colour, size, or pattern, promoting early maths skills such as sorting and sequencing. Use them for counting activities, where children can group the balls into sets or practice addition and subtraction. The wooden balls can also be used for creative play-children can invent stories or scenarios using the balls as characters, animals, or objects in their narrative. Pair them with other loose parts materials for building structures or collaborative play, where teamwork and communication are key.
