Introduce children to the magic of loose parts play with the Wooden Treasures Taster Set, a beautifully crafted collection of smooth wooden shapes inspired by nature and discovery. Each treasure comes in three tones of seven organic colours, with every colour symbolising an emotional characteristic or sensory quality. Perfect for open ended exploration, this starter set invites children to sort, classify, build, imagine and create.
With a variety of tactile shapes including mushrooms, stones, cones, eggs, tokens and Nelsons, the set encourages fine motor development, coordination, problem solving and expressive play. The double variations of mushrooms and stones add extra interest and opportunities for matching, comparing and pattern work.
The colours are applied without bleaching the wood first, allowing the natural grain and unique patterns of the beechwood to shine through. Supplied in a cotton drawstring bag, this collection complements all Wooden Treasures, Rainbow Loose Parts and Rainbow Architect resources, making it a perfect introduction to heuristic and open ended play.
