Heuristic play is a wonderful opportunity to capitalise on toddlers’ curiosity about the objects that make up the world around them. The resources which make up this set are not be the kinds of objects traditionally thought of as toys for young children but they provide equally valuable opportunities for extending children’s learning. There is no right and wrong way to play with Heuristic resources so everyone’s ideas are equally valid and worthwhile. The open ended nature of the resources means that all toddlers can explore and investigate in their own way, applying their own creative ideas and building on their own experiences.

This large set of 63 wooden pieces includes the following resources and a large drawstring bag to hold the components when not in use.

Contents: 10 x 70mm rings, 10 x 48mm rings, 6 x 40mm cubes, 10 x 63mm egg cups, 10 x 35mm spools, 10 x 50mm balls, 3 x 70mm bowls, 3 x 92mm bowls, 1 x 320mm ring holder, a cotton bag and activity guide in 7 languages. (click here to view & download).
