Natural Spaces - Wooden Mirror Blocks - 24 Pieces

This set of mirrored wooden blocks offers a reflective and engaging learning experience that supports open-ended play, creativity, and early design thinking. The set includes 24 lightweight wooden blocks with scratch-resistant mirror inserts, designed to integrate seamlessly with existing project block sets. Made from durable FSC-certified plywood, the blocks include a variety of shapes such as squares, rectangles, semi-circles, quarter circles, and right-angled triangles. The standard square block measures 13.3cm and forms the basis for the scale of the other pieces.:

These beautifully crafted blocks invite children to explore shape, symmetry, light, and perspective as they build, stack, and reflect their surroundings. The mirrored surfaces provide an additional sensory dimension that can enhance construction, imaginative play, and visual investigation. This resource encourages children to develop confidence, coordination, and collaboration as they build both independently and in groups. Designed to support inquiry-based learning, these blocks allow for experimentation and hypothesis-testing while promoting creativity and communication. Please note the mirrors are scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof, and care should be taken when using sharp or hard materials. As with all mirrored items, this product must be kept out of direct sunlight to avoid the risk of concentrated light reflection.
