Small Diam Plastic Balls Pack (40Pk)

This pack of 40 small plastic Airflow Balls (4cm diameter) is a versatile, open-ended resource that stimulates creative play and learning. Their size makes them perfect for combining with other loose parts like tubes, guttering, and pipes, encouraging sophisticated Engineering and Scientific Inquiry as children design ramps and tunnels to explore movement, speed, and gravity. Used in Mathematics, they can be easily strung onto rope or wire to create large-scale, outdoor abacuses or score boards for counting, sorting, and comparison. Their light weight and size are also great for developing Gross Motor Skills and Hand-Eye Coordination through throwing, aiming, and catching games. The bright, varied colours add a visual element to play. This resource truly supports continuous provision across multiple learning areas. Recommended for ages 3+.
