• Begin to develop complex stories using small world equipment like animal sets, dolls and dolls houses.
• EYFS, Mathematics
• Talk about and explore 2D and 3D shapes.
• EYFS, Physical Development
• Encourages the development of motor skills - fine and gross.
• Four geometric wooden 2d and 3d shapes designed for early learning in mathematics.
• Crafted from wood, these shapes facilitate small world play, encouraging creativity and collaborative interactions among children.
• These hand-made wooden shapes stimulate children's imagination and learning, encouraging them to explore the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, thereby enhancing their cognitive abilities.
• Interacting with these wooden shapes helps children develop fine motor skills, crucial for early development stages. The smooth and solid wood construction makes it easy for little hands to handle and manipulate each piece during their small world play scenarios.
These shapes also support the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum by aligning with learning aims in expressive arts and design, mathematics, and physical development. Teachers can effectively use these resources to foster an environment of collaborative and imaginative play.
