Description
The TickiT® Easy Hold Discovery Set is a beautifully crafted, engaging collection of six solid rubberwood frames, each with easy-to-hold handles and unique inserts that invite children to explore the world around them in vibrant and imaginative ways. This set is designed to encourage sensory discovery, fine motor skills, and observational play, making it an essential addition to any early learning environment.
Each frame holds a different type of insert to capture your child’s curiosity. The translucent colour panels in light red, blue, and yellow allow children to see their surroundings through a colourful lens, introducing them to colour mixing when layered. These panels are ideal for use with a light panel, where the bright colours can be fully appreciated. A giant magnifier insert with both 2x and 3x magnification offers children the chance to examine small objects or creatures up close, fostering curiosity and an appreciation for the finer details in their environment. The set also includes two mirrors: a two-sided convex/concave mirror that provides a fun, distorted reflection, and a plane mirror for simple reflection, both encouraging children to explore self-recognition and visual perception.
