The Giant Squidgy Sparkle Circles – Tactile Shape, Colour & Fine Motor Learning Set combines visual exploration, hands-on interaction and early learning in a versatile seven-piece activity set. Each flexible circle contains glittery liquid and floating 2D shapes, creating an engaging visual experience as the contents move when the circles are pressed, squeezed, bent or manipulated.

Designed for children aged 3 years and over, the Giant Squidgy Sparkle Circles – Tactile Shape, Colour & Fine Motor Learning Set provides opportunities to develop fine motor control, hand strength, visual attention and early concepts such as shape, colour, movement and pattern.

The large 19 cm circles are easy to handle and can be used individually, layered together or incorporated into structured learning activities. When placed on a lightbox, the translucent materials allow children to explore colour, shape and visual overlays. They can also be used with an overhead projector to create colourful projected patterns and visual environments.

For educators and occupational therapists, these tactile learning tools can be incorporated into fine motor activities, visual discrimination tasks, matching games and guided exploration. The repetitive action of pressing, squeezing and moving the circles may also provide opportunities for focused, purposeful hand activity.

The Giant Squidgy Sparkle Circles – Tactile Shape, Colour & Fine Motor Learning Set can be used in classrooms, early learning centres, therapy environments and home settings. Activities can be adapted to individual abilities and learning goals, supporting participation through both structured and open-ended exploration.

Beyond early learning, the circles can be incorporated into inclusive learning environments where visual and tactile resources provide alternative ways to engage with concepts and activities. Their versatility makes them suitable for individual exploration, small-group learning and therapist-led activities.

Why Choose This Product

The Giant Squidgy Sparkle Circles – Tactile Shape, Colour & Fine Motor Learning Set provides educators and therapists with a versatile resource that combines visual learning and hands-on interaction. Rather than being limited to one activity, the seven circles can be used for shape and colour recognition, fine motor practice, visual exploration, matching, layering and lightbox activities.

For occupational therapists, the circles can provide opportunities to incorporate purposeful hand movements into engaging activities. Pressing, squeezing and manipulating the flexible circles can support activities targeting hand function, coordination and fine motor control, while the visual components can be incorporated into visual attention and discrimination tasks.

For educators, they offer an adaptable resource for individual learning, small-group activities and classroom exploration. They can also be incorporated into inclusive learning environments where children benefit from multiple ways of engaging with educational concepts.

For home care and family environments, the circles provide a practical activity resource that can be incorporated into supervised learning, play and fine motor activities.
