Description
The Perception Spheres come in eight different clear colours and are soft and warm to the touch.
The very youngest children will enjoy handling the Perception Spheres in free sensory play or a part of a Treasure Basket collection.
Older children will find the Perception Spheres fascinating as they hold them up and look through them seeing the world around them in different colours.
The way light behaves when children look through the Perception Spheres they will also see the world from a different angle.
Holding two or three perception Spheres together creates new colours and hues; using the Spheres on a light panel will enhance the children’s opportunities for colour mixing.
