Wooden Geometric Solids - 15 Piece Set

In the age of digital learning, there is nothing quite like the weight and feel of a solid resource in your hand, and these wooden shapes deliver! This 15 piece set of geometric solids allows children to move beyond flat pictures and truly explore the characteristics of three dimensional forms like cubes, spheres, and pyramids. The beautifully crafted wood provides a satisfying sensory input and makes them ideal for feely box play, developing spatial reasoning and descriptive language skills (Communication and Language). This resource is core for Mathematical development, supporting understanding of faces, edges, vertices, and later, concepts of volume and surface area. The easiest way to make geometry tangible, memorable, and fun for all your learners.

Features

• Solid Wooden Construction: Provides substantial weight and a natural, satisfying texture for enhanced sensory feedback and durability.
• Set of 15 Varied Shapes: Includes a wide range of common 3D geometric forms for comprehensive shape recognition and comparison.
• Uniform 5cm Base: Allows children to easily compare height and volume across different shapes for early mathematical investigation.
• Smooth, Unvarnished Finish: Perfect for use in feely bags or under cover, promoting tactile discrimination skills without visual cues.
• Classic and Timeless Design: Ensures longevity and versatility, fitting seamlessly into both modern and natural learning environments.

Benefits

• Mathematics (M): Develops foundational understanding of 3D shape properties, including faces, edges, vertices, and early concepts of volume and mass.
• Communication and Language (C&L): Promotes rich descriptive vocabulary (e.g., curved, flat, cornered) essential for articulating mathematical understanding.
• Physical Development (PD): Handling and manipulating the different forms strengthens fine motor skills and spatial reasoning during construction and arrangement.
• Sensory play (SE): The tactile wooden material is ideal for feely box activities, enhancing discrimination and focused attention.
• Expressive Arts and Design (EAD): Can be used as models for drawing, printing, or creating abstract sculptures and still life arrangements.
