tickit® Colour Crystal Block Set – 25 Blocks

The tickit® Colour Crystal Block Set contains 25 polished translucent acrylic blocks in a fascinating mixture of colours, clear pieces and geometric forms. Children can build towers, create patterns, solve sequences and explore how colours change when the blocks are layered or illuminated on a light panel.

Regular shapes introduce familiar mathematical forms such as squares, triangles, rectangles, circles and ellipses, while irregular waves, arches and zigzags provide more complex construction challenges. A flat acrylic mirror, 15 activity cards and a detailed guide extend the set into reflective symmetry, angles and guided 2D or 3D problem-solving activities.

• 25 translucent acrylic blocks: Includes coloured and clear pieces in regular and irregular geometric shapes.
• Open-ended construction: Build towers, bridges, arches, patterns and imaginative structures.
• Colour exploration: Layer different blocks to investigate colour mixing and changing hues.
• Light-panel compatible: Translucent acrylic creates an engaging effect when illuminated from below.
• Reflective symmetry: Use the included flat mirror to explore reflected patterns, shapes and angles.
• Regular and irregular forms: Includes familiar polygons alongside waves, zigzags and arches.
• Progressive challenges: The 15 A4 work cards include pictures to copy, sequences to complete and 2D or 3D construction ideas.
• Supports developing skills: Building and arranging the blocks encourages fine motor control, spatial reasoning and hand-eye coordination.
• Protective storage: Supplied in a robust box with foam inserts to help protect and organise the acrylic pieces.

Learning & Development Benefits

• Early maths: Supports discussion of shapes, patterns, sequences, symmetry, angles and spatial relationships.
• Problem-solving: Children can plan structures, copy designs and discover how to balance unusual shapes.
• Fine motor skills: Positioning, stacking and aligning the pieces encourages controlled hand movements.
• Colour investigation: Overlapping translucent blocks demonstrates how colours can combine and change.
• Spatial reasoning: Building in two and three dimensions encourages children to consider position, orientation and balance.
• Language development: The varied forms introduce descriptive words such as wave, zigzag, arch and bridge.
• Creative thinking: The blocks can be used for guided challenges or open-ended imaginative construction.

Sensory Needs Supported

• Visual: The coloured and clear translucent blocks can be layered, viewed against light or used with the mirror to explore colour, reflection, pattern and symmetry.
• Tactile: The polished acrylic blocks provide smooth surfaces and a varied selection of curved, straight, regular and irregular shapes to handle.

Award Recognition

The Colour Crystal Block Set received recognition in the Practical Pre-School Awards 2016. Testers highlighted the appeal of the bright translucent colours, tactile shapes and the additional play and learning opportunities provided by the mirror.
