Stacking Rocket

Overview

• Helps with shape recognition and hand-eye coordination but also introduces the challenge of fitting additional shapes, including an astronaut, into the rocket rings in the correct order.

• This added complexity encourages concentration and problem-solving as children work to complete the rocket and initiate a countdown for lift-off. Crafted from sustainable rubber wood and non-toxic paints, the Stacking Rocket offers hours of fun while providing peace of mind to practitioners and parents, knowing that children are developing key cognitive and physical abilities in a safe, environmentally friendly manner.

• Incorporating the stacking rocket into activities aligns with the EYFS curriculum by encouraging free play with various objects. Children can explore mathematical concepts such as patterns and arrangement, making it an engaging way to introduce foundational maths skills.

• The stacking rocket also aids in developing manipulation and control, important for early years physical development. By handling and arranging the pieces, children improve their dexterity and hand-eye coordination, essential skills for their growth and learning journey.
