Pastel Rainbow Stacker

Bring colour, creativity and tactile exploration to play with these soft felt stacking stones in a beautiful range of pastel rainbow shades. Available in a variety of sizes, these versatile felt pebbles encourage children to stack, sort, balance, build and create through hands-on, open-ended play.

Children can experiment with building towers, exploring balance and stability, or arranging the pebbles into colourful patterns and designs. They can also create flat pictures, imaginative structures or small-world landscapes, transforming the stones into magical castles, mountains, gardens and more.

Through trial and error, children develop fine motor skills, concentration, spatial awareness and early mathematical thinking. The soft felt texture and gentle pastel colours also provide opportunities for sensory exploration, while collaborative activities encourage communication, storytelling and shared problem-solving. Measures approximately 6–18cm. Made from felt
