Silishapes Linking People – A Versatile and Interactive Learning Resource
Introduce your children to a world of creativity, storytelling, and exploration with the Silishapes Linking People, a unique and durable educational tool designed for hands-on learning. Crafted from soft, transparent silicone, these realistic linking figures represent six families, each featuring grandad, grandma, mum, dad, girl, and boy. With six distinct colours, each character is unique, enabling endless possibilities for imaginative play and curriculum-based activities.
Educational and Engaging Design
The Silishapes Linking People characters are moulded with realistic features and proportional sizes, making them an ideal resource for teaching life cycles, relationships, and family structures. These figures can be linked by their hands, encouraging fine motor skill development, while their transparent colours add a visual dimension to play, perfect for use on light boxes to explore colour mixing or reflections.
