Description
The TickiT® Rainbow Wooden Discs are a charming set of smooth beechwood discs finished in the vibrant colours of the rainbow, showcasing a natural woodgrain texture that gives each disc a unique look. Crafted with a rounded top and a flat base, these discs are versatile play items, ideal for a variety of engaging activities that support both creative play and early learning.
