Rainbow Architect Set, Pack 28

Beautiful natural solid beechwood nesting shape sets in the seven colours of the rainbow, with a natural finish to show the grain of the wood. The 4 geometric shapes are squares, rectangles, triangles and arches. The inner block in each nesting group is a solid 3D shape. This wide-ranging enabling resource will provide endless possibilities for creativity, construction and imaginative play, engaging children in learning across several areas of the curriculum: using innovation and creativity to build towers, houses or freeform sculptures, using the imagination to design rooms for filling with small world play people or animals, applying mathematical logic to sort counters into the shapes which match by colour, shape or size, learning the geometric properties of common shapes, exploring size and scale, using mathematical terms - larger, smaller, taller, wider etc, and for improving language skills and broadening descriptive vocabulary. Ideal for using with our Natural Architect range, Rainbow Wooden Loose Parts, Wooden Treasures, Woodland Trees and Wooden Community People sets (all sold separately) for extended play opportunities.
