Rainbow Blocks
What are Rainbow Blocks?
Rainbow blocks are a vibrant and engaging resource designed to enhance early learning through hands-on exploration. Rainbow blocks include rainbow-shaped arches as well as blocks with mirrored and coloured acrylic inserts, available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rainbow blocks allow EYFS and Key Stage One children to experiment with light, colour mixing, and reflection, while also developing key skills such as spatial awareness, fine motor control and hand-eye coordination. Their bold, vibrant design encourages open-ended play, inspiring children to construct, create patterns, and engage in rich storytelling and role-play. As a versatile learning tool, rainbow blocks are an invaluable addition to any early years or Key Stage One classroom block area.
What are the Benefits of Rainbow Blocks?
The addition of rainbow blocks to a block area creates a dynamic, multi-sensory learning opportunity, where children can explore colour light and shape in meaningful ways. Children can stack, sort, and arrange the rainbow blocks to observe how colours blend and how light passes through, encouraging both scientific enquiry and creative thinking. Building with rainbow blocks fosters creativity, nurtures problem-solving, critical thinking, and design skills, as children develop an understanding of structure, symmetry, and balance. Pairing these rainbow blocks with themed sets, such as city blocks or natural materials further enhances narrative play and supports the development of learning within the areas of Communication and Language, Literacy and Expressive Arts and Design.
