Wooden Treasures Starter Set (168Pk)

The Wooden Treasures Starter Set is a beautiful collection of small, natural wooden shapes in 7 gentle, organic colours, each with three different shades. Inspired by nature, these treasures include mushroom, stone, and token shapes, perfect for sparking curiosity and engaging the senses. They are a core resource for fine motor skill development, encouraging children to pick up, transfer, and arrange. Beyond simple manipulation, the set is perfect for early mathematics, enabling complex sorting, counting, sequencing, and pattern-making activities.

Features

• 168 smooth, natural wooden pieces in various nature-inspired shapes (approx. 35-40mm in size).
• Features 7 organic colours with 3 tonal shades of each, promoting colour recognition and sorting complexity.
• Natural wood grain is visible beneath the colour, celebrating the natural material.
• Includes a cotton drawstring storage bag for tidiness and portability.

Benefits

• Fine Motor & Dexterity (PD): The small size requires precise grasping and manipulation (pincer grip), vital for pre-writing skills.
• Mathematics (M): Exceptional for counting, sorting by colour/shade, sequencing, pattern-making, and understanding set theory.
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED): Use of colours (e.g., blue for calm, green for nature) can support emotional literacy and mindful play.
• Expressive Arts and Design (EAD): Used as 'loose parts', they encourage children to create 2D and 3D designs, pictures, and small world layouts.
