Hex Tray Stand and Earth Tone Felt Kit

The Hex Tray Stand and Earth Tone Felt Kit is an inspiring set designed for open-ended, creative play. Ideal for children aged 3 years and up, this kit includes a Hex Tray with a height-adjustable stand, an Earth Rainbow Felt Hex Mat, and an Earth Tone Balls & Bowls Set. The Hex Tray (SUN101) and Stand (SUN102) are perfect for tactile, sensory play, offering a stable base for children to engage in a range of activities. The Earth Rainbow Hex Mat, divided into six earthy colours, provides a dynamic foundation for colour matching, storytelling, and game development.

The Earth Tone Balls & Bowls Set (6 coloured bowls, each with 6 felt balls) further enhances the play experience. These vibrant, soft materials are excellent for sorting, classifying, and fine motor skill development. The various colours-sage, baby pink, mustard, beige, grey, and blue-encourage colour recognition and offer endless possibilities for sorting, mixing, and matching.

This kit fosters sensory exploration and cognitive development by supporting skills in colour recognition, sorting, pattern making, and storytelling. It also promotes teamwork, communication, and creativity as children work together to create games, organise materials, or develop narratives.

Classroom Ideas:
In the classroom, the Hex Tray Stand and Earth Tone Felt Kit can be used in a variety of educational activities. For younger children, use the felt balls to sort and match colours in the bowls, enhancing their colour recognition and fine motor skills. The Hex Mat can be used as a base for imaginative role-playing or to create different landscapes for storytelling. Pair the Hex Tray with loose parts for building and constructing, or use it as a sensory exploration space where children can experiment with textures and shapes. The kit can also be used to introduce basic concepts of organisation, sorting, and classification in fun, hands-on ways.
