Specifications
Encourage creativity, sensory exploration and early STEM learning with the Guidecraft Colourful Treasure Tubes – 8 Pieces. A vibrant twist on a classic sensory tool, these stackable treasure tubes feature brightly coloured end caps and clear plastic centres that allow children to fill, observe and interact with a variety of materials. Ideal for children aged 3 years and up, this set supports hands-on learning across multiple developmental domains.
Children can add marbles, beads, twigs, leaves or small toys to the tubes and experiment with sound, weight and visual contrast. Use them to build and balance towers, or place them on a light box to explore how light filters through different textures and colours. With removable lids, the tubes are easy to customise based on seasonal themes, specific learning goals or individual interests. These open-ended resources support play-based learning through touch, sight and sound while helping children build confidence, problem-solving skills and coordination. Whether for independent discovery or small group activities, Guidecraft Colourful Treasure Tubes are a must-have for sensory-rich, interactive play.
Educational Benefits:
- Promotes sensory development through visual, auditory and tactile experiences
