Edushape Sensory Snap Beads 12 Pack

Colourful sensory play designed for little hands

There's plenty to touch, explore and discover with the Edushape Sensory Snap Beads 12 Pack. Specially designed for babies and toddlers from 12 months onwards, these colourful sensory beads feature a variety of lumpy, bumpy and textured surfaces that provide engaging tactile stimulation while being easy for small hands to grip.

Each bead can be easily snapped together and pulled apart, creating a rewarding hands-on activity that combines sensory exploration with early construction play. Children can connect the beads into chains and different arrangements before separating them and starting all over again.

Explore different textures through touch.

The varied surfaces provide plenty of opportunities for tactile discovery.

Children can:

• Touch and feel different textures.

• Explore raised and bumpy surfaces.

• Grip and manipulate the beads

• Connect and separate pieces.

• Compare colours and textures.

• Enjoy repetitive sensory play.

The textured surfaces also make the beads easier for developing hands to hold.

Develop fine motor skills.

Snapping the beads together and pulling them apart requires controlled hand and finger movements, helping strengthen the muscles children need for everyday activities.

Play supports:

• Fine motor development

• Finger strength

• Grip control

• Manual dexterity

• Bilateral coordination

• Precision

The simple snap-together action provides an achievable challenge that encourages children to practise repeatedly.

Improve hand-eye coordination

Children need to carefully position two beads before connecting them, helping coordinate visual information with hand movements.

Regular play encourages:

• Hand-eye coordination

• Visual tracking

• Accuracy

• Controlled movement

• Spatial awareness

These important developmental skills provide foundations for many future play and learning activities.

Encourage sensory development

The combination of bright colours, interesting shapes and tactile surfaces creates an engaging multisensory experience.

The Edushape Sensory Snap Beads encourage:

• Tactile awareness

• Visual stimulation

• Texture discrimination

• Sensory exploration

• Curiosity

• Cause-and-effect discovery

Children can explore independently and discover how each bead feels, moves and connects.

Early construction and problem-solving play

Connecting the individual beads introduces babies and toddlers to simple construction concepts.

As children experiment, they begin to understand:

• How objects connect

• Cause and effect

• Simple sequences

• Spatial relationships

• Trial and error

• Problem-solving

The beads can be repeatedly connected, rearranged and separated, providing plenty of opportunities for open-ended exploration.

Bright and engaging colours

The colourful beads provide visual stimulation while offering opportunities to introduce early colour recognition.

Parents, carers and Early Years practitioners can use the beads to encourage simple conversations about:

• Colours

• Textures

• Counting

• Matching

• Position

This helps extend sensory play into early language and learning activities.

The Edushape Sensory Snap Beads are a versatile developmental resource suitable for:

• Home play

• Nurseries

• Baby rooms

• Childminders

• Early Years settings
