Support colour recognition, shape exploration and fine motor development with the Rainbow Wooden Nuts and Bolts Set. Beautifully crafted from solid beechwood, this tactile set includes seven nuts and seven corresponding bolts in the seven colours of the rainbow. Each nut pairs with a matching bolt by both colour and shape, with the shapes increasing in complexity from one to eight edges.
Chunky and easy for small hands to grasp, the pieces are ideal for twisting, turning and strengthening finger muscles needed for early writing. The smooth natural finish allows the wood grain to show through, adding a sensory quality to every piece. Perfect for EYFS settings, nurseries and home learning environments, the set supports counting, matching, constructing, sequencing and early mathematical thinking.
The colours match the full Rainbow Wood range, including Loose Parts, Architect Sets and Wooden Buttons, making these nuts and bolts a wonderful addition to open ended, collaborative and creative play. Supplied with a cotton drawstring bag for easy storage.
