These pieces are delightful to handle and make a gentle, pleasing sound when moved together and naturally draw attention as they catch and reflect the light. Perfect for colour exploration, magnification activities, fine motor practice, stacking, building and developing spatial awareness. Children can use the columns to construct imaginative layouts, compare lengths, count, or combine them with other items from the Gems collection to create more intricate structures and small world scenes.

The set includes 25 coloured acrylic columns and a plywood storage tray.
