The Pink Tower (Satin Finish)

The Pink Tower

Tour Rose

The Pink Tower consists of a series of ten graduated cubes from 1cm³ to 10cm³. A spare 1cm³ cube is included.

The Pink Tower is used to develop visual and muscular discrimination of size in three dimensions and to develop co-ordination and fine motor control. It offers an early pre-maths experience of comparison and seriation, and the opportunity to use vocabulary of size.

Initially the tower is built with the cubes placed centrally on another. Later the tower is built with two flat sides and the smallest cube travels down the steps fitting each step exactly to reinforce the relationship between it and the change in size of the series of cubes.

The Broad Stair and Pink Tower can be combined and the interrelationships of size explored.

This is a robust pink tower with a hard wearing finish with slightly chamfered edges to reduce the likelihood of chipping.

ELG: Shape, space and measures: children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

WARNING: Not suitable for 0-3 years - Small Parts: Choking hazard.
