Silishapes® Linking People Set of 36 by TickiT
Silishapes Linking People are a set of soft silicone characters consisting of 6 families with 6 family members. Each family offers a different transparent colour (making each character entirely different from the others) and they can be linked by their hands. The characters include grandad, grandma, mum, dad, girl, and boy. They are moulded with realistic features and in proportion.
Linking People are an excellent resource for storytelling, language development, mathematical sorting, pattern-making and for their attributes (larger/smaller, taller/shorter, older/ younger). In science, they can be used to help children understand life cycles. They can be used on a lightbox or panel to see colour mixing or the effect when reflected in a mirror. They are useful for helping children to develop fine motor skills and in small world play.
Being made from silicone, they are strong and easily cleaned after use in soapy water or even in a dishwasher. The set comes with an information sheet of ideas in 8 languages for use across the curriculum.
