Rainbow Architect Shapes Set of 28

This comprehensive set of solid beechwood nesting shapes supports complex construction, spatial exploration and imaginative design across a wide range of play experiences. Children can combine arches, triangles, squares and rectangles to build layered structures, enclosures and detailed small-world environments, developing an understanding of balance, symmetry and design as they experiment.

The variety of shapes and sizes encourages children to sort, compare and organise by colour, form and scale, introducing mathematical thinking through hands-on play. The open frames also create opportunities for imaginative use, from designing spaces for small-world figures to creating patterns and visual displays. Each piece is finished to highlight the natural wood grain and coloured in the seven tones of the rainbow, with a solid inner block included in each nesting group. The set includes all four shape collections: arches, triangles, squares and rectangles, offering extended possibilities for construction and creative exploration.

Complimentary products within the Architect range include: Columns 131798, Rainbow Houses 133369, Triangle Panels 132471, Square Panels 132472, Rectangular Panels 132473, Arch Panels 132474

Outcome 4.4: Children resource their own learning through connecting with materials as they explore creative and structural possibilities.

Outcome 5.4: Children begin to understand how symbols and pattern systems work as they explore geometry, size and spatial relationships.
