These classroom-friendly shapes are a useful alternative to plastic. The soft foam texture holds steady on smooth surfaces, making them ideal for individual or small group work at classroom desks. When the activity is finished, the pieces can easily be stored in the transparent plastic jar with screw top lid.

A wide variety of shapes

Twelve different shapes are included: sphere, hemisphere, cylinders, cuboids, cube, pyramid, cone, octahedron, hexagonal prism, and triangular prism.

Bright colours

Four each of red, blue, and yellow.

Use them to explore key themes within the content strand ‘Measurement and Geometry’. Ideal for tracing around or sketching to compare 2D and 3D shapes, sorting by attributes (number of faces, edges, etc.), stacking/balancing, and encouraging comparative language.
