Well, how exciting is this and exciting being the operative word.
Firstly, I need to point how how amazed I was to learn that this product is made from 100% recycled plastic, making it eco-friendly too.
Being an absolute fan of any toy that encompasses sensory and interactive play, I find it is extremely important for any child’s development.
Cognitive learning is also very important when it comes to interactive play and there is so much that can be learnt through this, including counting, imagination, observation, hand and eye co-ordination and so much more. Just let your child’s imagination run wild and you will be surprised with your help and interaction how much they can really learn from putting and building this together. It also allows them to explore engineering and science, as it is all about STEM play (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). FANTASTIC!
Now on to the fun part, setting up and having some interactive play with my grandsons who are 7 and 11 years old was immense fun. I helped and guided them and they took it in turns to put a part together bit by bit they would complete a shape, take a picture of it to show Mum and Dad and got excited to dismantle it, start again and build a new shape. They did not get bored and it was so refreshing to see them not on their gadgets. This was real play and I loved it. They could not wait for it to get dark and when it did, their eyes lit up, one of then said ‘look Nana we made that’. I was so proud of the fact the he was proud of himself, so much so, I gave them both a huge hug and said ‘yes you did and I a so very proud of you’. It just goes to show how spending time away for our tech world can bring out such enthusiasm and self confidence.
HOW TO PUT TOGETHER
As an adult, it is very easy but you will need to help, support and guide those little hands of the children or anyone else who may need some help.
Connect to the spheres by putting the bars through the power magnets that need to be placed on both ends of it. Once it is put together, place on the side in any dark room and see it glow. WOW, watch the eyes light up of anyone, including adults. This is especially lovely for anyone with sensory issues and glowing in the dark can be very relaxing for some.
The best bit about all this, is you can create may different shapes, so just let your creativity and imagination run wild.
