The colors of this stacker evoke a seaside vacation, the sound of waves and noisy seagulls, sand in your hair and sneakers, pebble towers, and a sunset enjoyed with the whole family, wrapped in a warm blanket. The
Raduga Grez Stapelbogen Sand is a meditative toy for focused, useful, and developmental play.
Immediately after birth, a child enters the world awash with visual information. It's so overwhelming that even an adult nervous system sometimes can't handle it. Everything is sparkling and shimmering, and there are so many unnatural, aggressive, and oversaturated colors around. These stacked arches are an island of calm and focus amidst this multi-colored ocean.
What can you do with the Raduga Grez Stapelbogen Sand:
- Touch each color of the toy and name objects of the same color around you. Remember what has the same color in nature.
- Mix the stackers and touch with your eyes closed and try to guess their size from 1 to 7.
- Play shadow theater. Experiment with the distance and position of the arc stacker from the light source or a lamp. Observe how it can change the shape of the shadow. Build different structures and study their shadows.
- Make a binocular
- Talk about optical illusions, perspective and sense of space.
- Building bridges over the textile river.
- Build a tunnel for a toy train or a car garage.
- Sketch the shadow of the toy on paper.
Open Ended Play Open-Ended Play enables holistic learning: children have the opportunity to explore the properties of materials: how something feels, smells, and moves. It allows children to focus on creating from intrinsic motivation and inspiration. Playing without rules! Children follow their imaginations to let the game unfold in all directions. That's the essence of Open-Ended Play!
Sustainable play This beautiful wooden open-ended play toy is handmade and sustainably produced.
Raduga Grez sources its own wood from responsible companies that ensure that the trees cut down are replanted.
The dyes used are non-toxic and water-based. By avoiding acrylic paint, the wood's characteristic properties are preserved. Only water-based paint is used, so it's also safe for children who like to put things in their mouths. The toys are inspired by the world around us: nature in all its facets.
Because Raduga Grez uses natural products, the colors in the picture may vary slightly from the product you receive. Tree-specific stains or streaks in the wood are possible. This makes each piece unique.
