Sensory Shapes

Sensory Shapes – A Hands-On Way to Explore Shape & Texture

The Sensory Shapes set provides tactile, hands-on learning experiences that enable children to explore shapes, textures, and comparative language through sensory play and mark-making. Designed to encourage exploration and discussion, these durable, stone-textured shapes offer a multi-sensory approach to early numeracy, making learning engaging and interactive.

Perfect for classrooms, nurseries, and outdoor environments, these realistic, textured shapes help children develop shape recognition, pattern-building skills, and descriptive vocabulary.

Encouraging Mathematical & Sensory Exploration

• Supports Early Numeracy Concepts – Helps children identify, compare, and classify basic geometric shapes.
• Enhances Sensory Development – The smooth and ridged textures provide a rich, hands-on learning experience.
• Encourages Descriptive Language – Helps children describe shapes, textures, and sizes, thereby developing their mathematical vocabulary.
• Versatile Learning Resource – This can be used in sand, water, soil, and sensory trays, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor learning.

What’s Included?

This twelve-piece set features two different sizes and thicknesses for each shape, encouraging comparative learning:

• Circle – Soft, continuous edges for smooth exploration.
• Triangle – Three distinct sides for tactile recognition.
• Square – Equal sides to support symmetry awareness.
• Rectangle – A familiar shape with varied side lengths.
• Pentagon – Five-sided challenge for shape discovery.
• Hexagon – Six-sided exploration for deeper learning.

Each stone measures between 50mm and 80mm, designed for small hands to grasp, explore, and manipulate with ease.

Sensory Shapes Features & Benefits

• Encourages Shape Recognition & Comparison – Helps children develop an understanding of geometry and spatial awareness.
• Supports Multi-Sensory Learning – The contrasting textures engage learners with tactile, visual, and kinesthetic preferences.
• Develops Early Mathematical Language – Encourages children to describe and compare shapes, strengthening communication and problem-solving skills.
• Made from a durable stone and resin mix – Weatherproof and long-lasting, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Safe for Young Learners – Designed for children aged three and above, making them ideal for early years education and sensory exploration.

Why Choose Sensory Shapes?

The Sensory Shapes set transforms early shape learning into a hands-on, engaging experience. Whether used for sorting, comparing, tracing, or mark-making, these durable, tactile stones offer a versatile and interactive way for children to explore geometry, build vocabulary, and develop their fine motor skills.
