The Colourful Wooden Treasures Set – 168 Pieces by Commotion is a stunning and expansive loose parts resource that inspires creative, sensory, and mathematical exploration in early years learning environments. This thoughtfully designed set includes 168 smooth wooden pieces, crafted in natural forms and dyed in three tonal shades across seven symbolic colours—each representing a different emotional or sensory quality. The organic, unbleached wood subtly alters the dye, creating a beautiful and unique colour variation in each piece.
Each shape measures approximately 3.5 to 4 cm high, perfectly sized for little hands to grasp, stack, sort, and explore. With its wide range of colour, texture, and form, the set supports open-ended play, pattern making, storytelling, and STEM activities. The shapes come in pairs of forms such as mushrooms/nelsons and stones/tokens, and the colours reflect the following symbolic meanings:
- Red = strength, energy, love
- Orange = creativity, self-awareness, transformation
- Yellow = wisdom, learning, happiness
- Green = physical healing, nature, caring
- Blue = emotional healing, calm, inner peace
- Purple = spirituality
- Brown = stability, comfort
Supplied with a cotton drawstring bag, this set encourages organisation and portability, making it suitable for individual or group learning in any classroom or home-based setting.
