With so many possibilities for use, this is a versatile addition to any continuous provision area. These unique, luminous boulders are attractive, engaging and ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Watch their faces \"œlight up' in awe as they watch what happens when the light bounces off them. Ideal for construction and stacking, and for firing imaginations, they are also ideal for supporting physical development and mathematical learning. These brilliant boulders come in four pearlescent\/iridescent colours, making them even more appealing to children and giving them an almost ethereal feel. The set is made from R-ABS (recycled plastic), therefore making this resource a more sustainable choice for your learning environment. Light up their lives today!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an educator, you'll find these boulders slot beautifully into loose parts play, construction areas, sensory invitations and maths provocations. Their facetted surfaces catch natural and artificial light, inviting close observation and experimentation, while their varied shapes encourage balancing, stacking and creative patterning. Outdoors, they become treasure stones, lava rocks or magical crystals; indoors, they work equally well on light boxes, mirrors or small-world landscapes. The sustainable R-ABS material means you can enjoy long-lasting, durable play pieces that support your service's environmental values as well as children's curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages early mathematical thinking through sorting, comparing, counting and creating repeating patterns with the boulders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports physical development as children reach, grasp, stack and carefully balance the facetted shapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes sensory exploration of light, colour and reflection as children notice how surfaces shimmer and change in different environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds language and creative thinking as children describe colours, textures and shapes and weave imaginative stories around \"magic\"  boulders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; play activity ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd to a light box or near a window and invite children to explore how the boulders look under different light sources during the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in construction and block areas as \"special pieces\"  for building towers, landscapes, castles or space scenes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate into maths sessions for sorting by colour, size or shape, or for simple counting and patterning activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace in a tuff tray with natural materials such as sand, pebbles and leaves to inspire small-world adventures and storytelling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 months+; always use under adult supervision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: luminous facetted boulder set in four pearlescent\/iridescent colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from R-ABS (recycled plastic) for a more sustainable choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both indoor and outdoor play as part of continuous provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety information: check boulders regularly for damage or sharp edges and remove from use if any issues are observed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42939015430257,"sku":"NIBU54013","price":339.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/nibu54013_luminous-facetted-boulders-pack-of-12_v1_5.jpg?v=1768371348","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/luminous-facetted-boulders-pack-of-12","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
