Prism Gems - Set of 12

Every collection needs a bit of sparkle. Our Prism Gems are the tiny treasures that bring it. Twelve faceted glass prisms, each one catching the light and throwing rainbows wherever they land.

These gems are wonderfully tactile. Children love the cool, smooth facets and the satisfying weight in their hands. Turn one slowly in the light and the colours shift.

Set them out on a light table or light panel and the colour really comes alive. They are a lovely addition to a sensory room, where the slow, quiet turning of a prism can help children settle and focus. Try them in a discovery tray, on a mirror, or alongside your <a href="https://www.cosydirect.com/loose-parts">loose parts</a> collection.

There is proper learning tucked in here too. Prisms bend light, so children start noticing colour, reflection and rainbows for themselves. Handling the small facets builds grip and fine motor control. And because they are simply gems, children will sort them, count them and line them up into patterns without being asked.

Please note: this is not a toy. Super, sparkly small gem like ornamental glass prism. Perfect to add to your collection. GLASS: handle with care. Supervision is required at all times, and the set is suitable for children aged 3 years and over.

Features

• 12 ornamental glass prisms: A generous set of 12, so several children can explore at once. Each gem measures H5 x W5 x L4cm.
• Faceted, light-catching design: The cut faces bend and split light, casting rainbows onto tables, walls and floors.
• Smooth, tactile surface: Cool to the touch and satisfyingly weighty. Children are drawn to holding, turning and stroking them.
• Perfect for light tables and light panels: Small enough to arrange freely on the panel, with colours that glow beautifully from below.
• Multicoloured set: A mix of colours for sorting, matching and colour mixing activities.
• This is not a toy: GLASS, handle with care. Suitable for 3 years and over. Adult supervision required at all times.

Benefits

• Explores colour and light: A simple, hands-on way into reflection, refraction and rainbows. Children discover how light behaves by moving the gems themselves.
• Ideal for sensory rooms and calm spaces: The slow sparkle gives children something absorbing to focus on. Lovely for regulation and quiet time.
• Supports fine motor skills: Picking up, turning and arranging the small gems strengthens grip, control and precision.
• Builds early maths skills: Children sort by colour, count, compare and create repeating patterns without any prompting.
• Encourages open-ended play: As loose parts, the gems become treasure, potions, jewels or story props. There is no right way to use them.
• A beautiful addition to your collection: Works across sensory, science, maths and small world play.
