Cosy Essence Play Panel - Space Ball Panel

Why settle for a flat boundary when you can have a marble run disguised as a wall? Our Cosy Essence Play Panel - Space Ball Panel is the ultimate component for adding a concentrated dose of problem solving to your Under Threes Play Area. This wooden panel connects seamlessly to complete your safe, stimulating EYFS setting. The panel features undulating, routed tracks and movable green latches, challenging children aged birth to 3 to guide balls through the maze. It is superb for boosting fine motor skills and developing that all-important hand-eye coordination. Watching the ball travel (or get hopelessly stuck) is a fascinating exercise in cognitive development and cause and effect. Features Integrated Routed Tracks: Features curved and straight pathways, providing a permanent marble run for children to guide objects. Movable Green Latches: Bright, chunky latches encourage children to practice pivoting and securing, developing concentrated fine motor skills. Solid Wooden Panel: Built from durable, smooth wood, guaranteeing safety and longevity within the indoor EYFS environment. Component Connectors: Includes pegs for easy and secure assembly, seamlessly expanding your Cosy Essence Play Area. Base Storage Ledge: The shelf at the bottom provides a handy spot to store small balls or other sensory learning area props. Benefits Fine Motor Skills: Moving the latches and guiding objects through the tracks strengthens finger muscles and precise grip, vital for early writing. Cause and Effect: Children learn that their actions (moving the latch) directly impact the ball's movement, boosting crucial cognitive development. Problem Solving: Figuring out how to successfully navigate the ball from top to bottom engages early logical thinking and planning skills. Object Tracking: Following the ball's journey along the undulating tracks enhances visual coordination and concentration in the learning area. Sensory Play: The tactile feel of the wood and the movement of the ball provide varied sensory input, supporting overall development.
