Transform your learning space into a vibrant underwater world with this Coral Connections – 70 Pieces construction set. Inspired by the organic forms and dynamic growth of real coral reefs, this open-ended resource invites children to create imaginative, colourful ecosystems while building key developmental skills. Made from soft, pliable plastic, each piece connects using snap-fit ball and joint systems, allowing for construction in every direction - horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or even web-shaped.
This set encourages visual and spatial awareness as children explore how pieces connect and grow, just like real coral. With the addition of themed sea creatures and a treasure chest, children are supported to build not only physical structures but also rich narrative stories. Whether used indoors, outdoors, in sand, or water, Coral Connections offers opportunities for collaborative play, communication, and hands-on learning. A large inspiration poster with real-world images and design ideas is included to support exploration and display.
