Colour Funnels (6Pk)

Water and sand play just got a whole lot more fun! This pack of six brightly coloured funnels is an absolute staple for your exploratory play area. Perfectly sized for small hands, these funnels are an open invitation to investigate the magic of flow, capacity, and volume. Watch as children experiment with different materials, observing how water flows quickly and sand moves slowly. They are also brilliant for early colour mixing when used with different liquids. Practitioners can use them in the water tray, the sand pit, or even in the forest school mud kitchen. A simple tool that provides a wealth of scientific and mathematical learning opportunities. They are robust, easy to clean, and genuinely fun to use!

Features

• Set of Six Bright Colours: Excellent for colour recognition, sorting, and early experiments in colour mixing with liquids.
• Perfectly Sized: The 10cm height is manageable for young children, encouraging independent use in sand and water trays.
• Durable Plastic: Robust and easy to wipe clean, making them perfect for messy play and sustained outdoor use.
• Cone and Spout Shape: The iconic funnel shape provides a direct visual example of flow and direction, linking action to outcome.
• Assorted Pack: Provides enough funnels for small group work, promoting collaboration and shared play.

Benefits

• Mathematics (M): Directly supports learning about volume, capacity, comparison ("Which one is full?"), and measurement concepts.
• Understanding the World (UtW): Encourages hands on scientific investigation of the properties of different materials (sand, water, liquid) and the concept of flow.
• Physical Development (PD): Pouring and handling the funnels is a fantastic way to develop gross motor skills and improve hand eye coordination.
• Communication and Language (C&L): Prompts the use of specific vocabulary related to measurement, weight, and texture (e.g., full, empty, fast, slow).
• Expressive Arts and Design (EAD): Can be used creatively to make patterns and designs in wet sand or to mix colours for simple potions.
