This soft and flexible multicoloured block set takes traditional blocks set one step further as they develop and enhance children's tactile skills. And they can't injure a child if they fall on them! The assortment of right-angled blocks include C, T and L shapes. All surfaces have a small raised diamond pattern. All blocks are 4cm thick. Ages 2 years+.

Includes 25 beautifully polished translucent acrylic blocks in different shapes, a plane mirror, 15 work cards and teachers' notes. The smooth colourful tactile blocks are designed to enable children to explore light and colour, build patterns and sequences as well as create imaginative pictures.

Includes:

• Regular polygons help with mathematical language and understanding shapes (square, triangle, oblong, circle, ellipse)
• Irregular shapes enable more complex pictures to be made and to encourage a rich diversity of language such as wave, zigzag, arch, bridge etc
• A plane mirror for children to build patterns and see the effects of reflective symmetry
• Coloured and clear blocks so children can overlay them to mix new colour combinations and use them on a light panel
• 15 pupil work cards with simple ideas to more complex challenges and images to copy in 2D or 3D, shape sequences to solve and ideas for reflective symmetry work
