Some resources just look too good to tidy away.
These Stripey Stones are one of those.
With their naturally marbled, banded patterns and earthy tones, they're an instant invitation to investigate, create and sort.
Children can compare textures, group by colour, or line them up in repeating patterns faster than you can say "continuous provision.
Ideal for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 settings, they're a brilliant open-ended loose parts resource that fits effortlessly into small world areas, nature tables or sand and water trays.
Pop them in a mud kitchen for an added dash of "chef's seasoning or set them out in the outdoor area as a natural maths investigation.
Whether it's sensory play, storytelling prompts or just the joy of finding a particularly stripey stone, this is a small but mighty addition to any natural learning space.
