I have the distinct privilege of living close to my grandchildren. I get to see them usually at least once a week. Harmony, the oldest, will be turning 3 this month and she loves coming to hang out at Cici and Pop’s house whenever she can. Recently I received the Rainbow Pebbles educational toy set to review and she was excited to play with this colorful new toy.
This set includes a set of 48 pebbles in 4 sizes and 6 colors plus 12 double sided activity cards. The cards follow through a few levels that include:
- Matching Shapes
- Matching Colors and Shapes
- Stacking Challenge
This activity set can be used for a lot of educational activities including patterning, color recognition, sorting, sequencing, counting and creative play. The pebbles are great for tactile learners and sensory play, building, math manipulatives, and even language development and descriptive skills.
Harmony also practices sharing when we play with the Rainbow Pebbles. She plays alone for a while and then she usually hands me a pile of pebbles and says that those are mine and asks me to create with her. That is a very important skill for a big sister to initiate!
Since I introduced this toy to Harmony, it is one of her favorites every time she comes over. She loves to play with her “rocks”. The small pebbles are a chocking hazard so she plays with adult supervision and we don’t play with them when her little brother Reuben is with us.
I highly recommend Rainbow Pebbles for kids ages 3+, especially 3-5 year olds and tactile learners will benefit from the different levels of play. The smooth pebbles are almost soothing to the touch, making play more enjoyable. You can get this toy at Amazon and Walmart for about $25.
