Excellerations® Mini Stacking Gems – Set of 30

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+

This set of 30 Mini Stacking Gems and 5 double-sided cards are made of a plastic, wipe-clean material that is an interactive and fun shape to play with. Children can use them in a variety of ways. They come in 2 different sizes and shapes, as well as three different colors, or gems: emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. They can construct structures, follow the cards and challenge themselves to replicate the picture, or to add to additional block sets for a mixed materials play experience.

• WHAT YOU GET: This set of 30 Mini Stacking Gems comes with 5 each of 3 different designs and in 2 different sizes. The large gems range in size from 2” x 2” x 3” to 2” x 2” x 4”. The small gems range in size from 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” x 3” to 2” x 2” x 3-1/4”. This set also includes 5, double-sided cards.
• EARLY STEM: Challenge children’s building and construction strengths by having them construct the largest or tallest structure. Children will learn to problem-solve and adapt their structures by learning what worked or didn’t work each time they build.
• CARDS TO GUIDE: The cards in this set can be used to challenge children to replicate what they see on the card. This helps with their spatial awareness.
• HANDS ON ACTIVITY: There is no better way to learn than to do. This set gives children the ability to construct a variety of structures due to the different sizes and angles contained in each piece.
• LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIAL: These gems are made of a lightweight material that is safe for children to use, construct with, and play with. Due to their plastic makeup, they can also be wiped and cleaned so that they stay sanitary and safe to play with.
