Description
The TickIT® Rainbow Wooden Cubes are an inspiring set of smooth, solid beechwood blocks crafted in the seven vibrant colours of the rainbow. With a natural woodgrain finish, these cubes are both visually appealing and tactilely engaging, making them ideal for early childhood development and play.
Perfectly suited for a variety of play and educational purposes, these wooden cubes encourage children to create imaginative scenes, build and construct, and engage in hands-on activities that support skills development in counting, sorting, stacking, sequencing, and colour recognition. With 14 cubes included, both large and small in each rainbow colour, this set is versatile and compatible with other items in the TickIT Rainbow Architect range and various heuristic play collections.
Key Features and Learning Benefits:
- Open-Ended Play: Children can use the cubes for building towers, creating patterns, and even as part of small-world play, allowing them to develop problem-solving skills and foster creativity.
- Size Variety: With cubes in two sizes (40mm and 50mm), children can explore size comparisons, build more complex structures, and learn foundational mathematical language such as “bigger,” “smaller,” and “equal.”
- Colour Learning and Sorting: The bright rainbow colours make these cubes a wonderful tool for learning colours, matching and sorting activities, and understanding patterns, adding an element of colour theory to play.
- Physical and Sensory Development: The smooth texture and sturdy build make these cubes great for motor skills development as children stack, grip, and handle each block. The visual and tactile appeal also encourages sensory exploration.

- Physical Development: Stacking and sorting these blocks builds fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
- Understanding the World: The cubes support early observation skills and colour recognition.
- Communication & Language: Describing the cubes—colours, sizes, textures—helps children develop descriptive vocabulary.
