Overview
-
These glow crosses captivate children and enhance learning by combining light and construction play. A simple button press illuminates the crosses, adding excitement to play environments. This feature draws attention and helps teach children about cause and effect.
-
Integrating these crosses into daily lessons supports various Early Years curriculum goals. They are particularly effective in teaching sequencing and sorting in mathematics, promoting investigation in understanding the world and sparking creativity in expressive arts and design.
-
Children can further their loose-parts exploration by building vertically, horizontally or interconnecting the pieces. They can also explore and experiment mathematically with these shapes, working on sequencing, patterns, classifying, and sorting. Young children can enjoy discovering and manipulating the pieces to build and balance while engaging with the light stimulus and exploring cause and effect.
-
The set includes twelve vibrantly coloured crosses and four USB-USB-B charging cables. The large cross measures 20cm, and the Small Cross measures 12.7cm.
