Five pairs of varying grades of sandpaper mounted on solid beechwood tiles 13.5cm x 9cm. Includes a box for storage.

Working with the Sandpaper Tiles enables the child to recognise tactile characteristics of objects even without seeing them (blindfolded). Developing fine motor skills it is an excellent activity in preparation of writing. These tiles also help to develop concentration, intelligence and sharpen observation skills. Using definitions of smoother and rougher enriches children’s vocabulary.

This giant lacing, building and stacking set contains jumbo sized plastic beads with 5 different geometric shapes in 7 bright colours. Develop manual dexterity, co-ordination, counting, sequencing and sorting skills. The colourful laces each measure 94cm long. The beads range in size from 3 to 4cm.

A handy tactile and visual skills training board featuring 4 pairs of solid wood blocks. One side of each block features an engraved texture and the other side is printed with the same pattern. This allows different types of sensorial matching games - matching only by touch, matching only by sight or matching by touch and sight. Different types of sensorial training and matching games can be designed by teachers. The board measures 28cmW x 28cmD x 2.5cmH.

Through touch, the child pairs the fabrics according to varying textures. Includes swatches of the same size fabrics in matching pairs of cotton, wool, jute, silk, leather and synthetic material. Stored in a wooden box with two compartments. 

Perfect for use with the Touch and Feel Box (#35120) or Blindfold Set (#51500) to observe the ability to distinguish shapes, texture, weight and temperature without visual imput (stereognosis).

Use the 6 matching pairs with a blindfold or one of our Touch and Feel boxes to test the ability to recognize objects by touch in the absence of vision (stereognosis). The tactile spheres are also great for fine motor skills, sensory play and matching activities. Includes a timber storage box.

The Thermic Tiles are used to cultivate the ability to discriminate thermic qualities. Consists of a wooden box divided into six compartments containing six pairs of 8cm x 4cm tiles made from felt, wood, steel, cork, glass, and marble. The child learns to identify and match with the exact pair using their hands. They can also arrange the tiles from warmest to coolest by touching them with their hands.

Thermic tiles are a significant activity for children as there is no outside force causing the tablets to differ in temperature.

• Refine a child’s thermic sense
• Aids in the development of visual discrimination
• Develop order and hand-eye coordination
• Develops thinking skills as they learn how and why the temperature is different for each pair of thermic tiles
• Enhance logical thinking and decision-making

This adorable spatial relationship skills development set consists of 25 buildings of 5 different heights (1-5), 4 cars and 4 trees. With the 5 x 5 grid base, different types of games are suggested including 2-D positioning, height sequencing, pattern finding, simple mathematics, visual interpretation, logical skills development and more. Made from beech wood and birch plywood. Durable and water-proof game book included. The building blocks are colour-coded too so they are easily identified, and underneath they are keyed, so they fit together in a particular way. They are also clearly marked with numbers and dots and are size-proportionate with the yellow building being the smallest - single unit block and the red a quad unit block. There are so many uses for this set, with counting, observation and fine motor development at the heart of all activities, but there are also many more things to do which are explained within the excellent pictorial user guide; for example, making a sequence, according to height, stacking different buildings to make the same ‘pre-set-height’. Making a city where cars can pass between the buildings and of course free play too is possible. With so many pieces and opportunities, setting and solving even more complex tasks is possible with this set. A fun resource, with highly focused challenges which will help children with their understanding of size, proportion, spatial-awareness and logic. The board measures 38cmW x 38cmD.

The red double decker Learning Bus is a firm favourite for children wanting to learn through play. With its space for 20 passengers, the opportunities for counting, sorting and arranging are endless. Counting to ten and then having any additional passengers moved up to the top deck is realistic to real-life and adds to the understanding of ‘base 10’ as a key mathematical concept. Components for the set are colour-coded and an icon on the top of the people counters tells you if the person represented is a man, woman, child, elderly or even disabled. A flip book with number challenges helps the children to remain focused upon the task in hand. And for an additional level of mathematics there are two dice which when thrown, set a task to move characters from upstairs to down or visa-versa, thus introducing the notion of adding or taking away to reach a solution. A wonderful resource which sets a real-world challenge and encompasses so much in terms of the basic mathematics being covered. The bus when in double decker form measures 32cmL x 18cmW x 15cmH. Made from European beech.
