It contains 12 bowls and 6 balls in the colors of the rainbow.
It includes textile bag with GOT Certificate fabric.
This material allows for the development of a logical-mathematical thinking by classifying, grouping and matching elements though colors and/or shapes.
For the youngest children: The bowl can be used as a lid, to make the balls inside appear and disappear as the classic game of “peekaboo”. Also favours concepts such as fill in, empty or slip and slide.
Schematic Play: This toy will appeal to children demonstrating the positioning schema. This toy focusses on shapes and positioning them to make a scene.
More information:
Six coloured balls with twelve bowls that surround and contain them; like six petals of a flower or half a dozen eggs. In a decimal world, talking about six may seem strange, but let's think about the 12 months of the year, for example.
If we place a bowl in the centre and the others around it, we will see that exactly six fit! This happens with all circles of the same diameter.
Why This Toy?
It's no surprise that children love round shapes. Balls are a precision item that can get wild when they fall and roll into hidden places, but become calm and contained inside the bowls. You can make logical connections between each ball in the bowl of its color or play "peek-a-boo" using the bowl as a lid. These materials can be as fun as they are eye-catching!
They encourage play becuase:
When children approach them, they see beyond the colours, they touch the texture of the wood, the rounded edges, the perfect spheres... Their hands “see” the quality of a material that shines not for its colours but for its warmth and naturalness. They offer great versatility in play and are also toys produced following traditional processes and with sustainable, local and non-toxic materials.
