The Garden Bug Rollers - Pack of 6 offer a wonderfully tactile and imaginative way for children to explore nature through creative play. These durable tools are designed to roll into dough or clay, imprinting detailed garden-themed textures and insect shapes. Children will love the hands-on experience of crafting their own bug habitats, experimenting with different amounts of pressure and motion to create unique and intricate works of art.

Each roller features a patterned design along the barrel that includes plants, honeycomb, spider webs, flowers, and grass, while the ends of the rollers double as stamper bugs representing a bee, ladybug, butterfly, caterpillar, grasshopper, and spider. This dual-purpose design allows for both rolling patterns and stamped impressions, supporting open-ended play and creative expression.

Crafted from a durable stone mix, these rollers are built for regular use and are easy to clean, making them perfect for classroom, early learning centres, or home environments. Sized at 72 x 34mm, they are ideal for small hands, helping young learners develop fine motor skills, coordination, and sensory awareness.
