TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray – 100 acrylic gem cubes with a beechwood mirror tray for colour, light and maths play

TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray contains 100 sparkling acrylic cubes in ten colours, presented in a sturdy beechwood tray with a safe acrylic mirror base. The reflective surface multiplies colour and light, making stacking, arranging and pattern work especially visually engaging.

Children can sort the gem cubes, build towers, create sequences and investigate symmetry or reflection. TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray supports open-ended sensory exploration as well as more structured early maths activities, giving the set value across nursery, classroom and home-learning environments.

What makes TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray special

TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray brings together product-specific features that provide an immediate focus for play and learning. Adults can introduce the resource clearly, then allow children’s observations, actions and ideas to shape the experience.

Visual and sensory benefits

TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray invites children to observe colour, reflection and changing light. The mirrored base creates repeated images and makes spatial arrangements especially clear.

Early maths and STEM learning

One hundred cubes provide generous material for counting, grouping, sequencing, symmetry and number-bond activities. Children can test patterns and compare quantities through direct handling.

Fine motor skills and creative construction

Stacking, aligning and arranging the 2.5 cm cubes supports hand-eye coordination and controlled placement. Open-ended designs allow mathematical thinking and creativity to develop together.

Why choose TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray

this resource combines attractive design with practical features that children can explore directly. Its value comes from the genuine play possibilities built into the product, giving adults clear ways to support language, thinking and coordinated action.

Activities can begin with free visual exploration before progressing to colour sorting, repeating patterns or specific quantity challenges. Older learners can investigate symmetry and number relationships, while younger children concentrate on stacking and arranging the highly visible cubes.

Benefits for early years, schools and home learning

In early years provision, this resource can support continuous provision or a focused activity. Educational settings can link it with relevant themes and vocabulary, while families can revisit the product through shared play at home.

Familiarity helps children understand how to begin, and adults can extend the experience by changing questions, story prompts or challenges. This gives the resource repeat value without requiring every session to produce the same outcome.

Perfect for

• Nurseries and early years settings
• Home learning and purposeful play
• Individual or shared activities where appropriate
• Adults seeking product-led developmental benefits

Gift suitability

this resource is a thoughtful gift for families who value engaging products with repeat play potential. Its distinctive features create an immediate activity while leaving room for new ideas as children become familiar with the resource.

Supporting confident participation

Adults can demonstrate the first action, use concise descriptive language and allow children time to explore. As familiarity grows, children can make choices, repeat preferred actions and suggest ways to extend the play, supporting independence and communication.

Long-term learning value

this resource can remain useful because the surrounding activity can change while the core product stays familiar. It may provide a short focused task, contribute to wider continuous provision or become part of a collaborative story. This flexibility helps parents and practitioners use the resource across repeated sessions with different learning priorities.

Communication and collaborative learning

TickiT Gem Cube Mirror Tray is well suited to paired pattern and counting tasks. Children can explain where a cube belongs, contribute to a symmetrical design and compare colour choices. The generous set of 100 pieces supports shared projects without restricting every learner to one identical arrangement. The reflective tray keeps each collaborative arrangement visually engaging and easy to review.
