Create rich, open ended play opportunities with the Wooden Treasures Starter Set, a beautifully curated collection of smooth wooden shapes inspired by nature, emotion and discovery. This extensive 168 piece set includes 12 different treasure shapes, each presented in three tones of seven organic colours, offering endless possibilities for sorting, sequencing, building, storytelling and sensory exploration.
Every shade represents an emotional characteristic or sensory quality, supporting early discussions around feelings and helping children connect play with emotional understanding. Each treasure shape also features intriguing natural wood markings, as the colouring is applied without bleaching, allowing the natural grain to shine through. With double variations of mushrooms and stones, children have even more to explore, compare and discover.
Perfect for loose parts play, heuristic play, early maths, imaginative scenes and pattern making, this set encourages creativity, fine motor development, hand eye coordination, problem solving and collaborative play. It also matches all Rainbow Wooden Loose Parts and Rainbow Architect resources, making it a beautiful addition to any early years learning environment.
