Through this tactile experience, children can investigate concepts such as colour, shape, and balance, fostering their natural curiosity and inquiry skills.
Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The varied shapes and translucent colours of the pebbles provide opportunities for children to experiment with sorting, counting, and patterning. As they engage in these activities, they develop foundational STEM skills, enhancing their ability to think critically and solve problems through hands-on exploration.
