Bring colour, creativity and early STEM learning to life with the Rainbow Wooden Nuts and Bolts Set – Pack of 21. Beautifully crafted from smooth solid beechwood, this expanded set includes 21 pieces in the seven colours of the rainbow, with three nuts and three matching bolts for each colour and shape. Every nut pairs with a corresponding bolt, matching by both colour and shape, and each shape features a different number of edges from one to eight.
Perfect for little hands, the chunky pieces are ideal for twisting, turning, gripping and building, supporting fine motor development and strengthening hand muscles essential for early writing skills. Their natural wood grain and tactile finish make them highly inviting for sensory‑rich play, while the bright rainbow colours support sorting, matching and early mathematical reasoning.
This set pairs beautifully with the wider Rainbow Wood collection, including Rainbow Loose Parts, Rainbow Architect Sets and Rainbow Wooden Buttons, making it a versatile addition to loose parts play, construction areas and open ended learning invitations. Supplied with a cotton drawstring storage bag for easy tidy up.
