Wood, Acrylic

Product Size: 
27.5x27.5x3cm

Learning Outcomes: 
1. Discovery of the World (Cognitive Development):
Encourages exploration of colours, shapes, and spatial relationships. Children can sort, stack, and arrange the acrylic cubes to create various patterns and structures, fostering an understanding of geometric concepts and colour recognition. This promotes cognitive development and creativity.

2. Fine Motor Skills Development:
Enhances fine motor skills as children handle and manipulate the acrylic cubes. They practice hand-eye coordination, grip strength, and precision movements while arranging and stacking the blocks to create designs and structures. This promotes control, dexterity, and coordination of hand movements.

3. Aesthetics and Creative Expression:
Stimulates creativity and imagination as children experiment with different color combinations and arrangements to create visually appealing designs. The transparent nature of the acrylic cubes allows for unique visual effects, fostering creative expression and artistic exploration.

4. Numeracy:
Provides opportunities for children to develop early numeracy skills such as counting, sorting, and pattern recognition through activities like arranging and categorising the blocks by colour or size.

Other Additional Possibilities:
1. Exploration of Light (Sensory Stimulation):
Children can explore the unique properties of light by observing how it interacts with the transparent acrylic cubes. They can experiment with shining light through the cubes and observing how it refracts and reflects, creating interesting patterns and colours. This activity enhances sensory stimulation and promotes scientific inquiry as children investigate the properties of light and colour.
