FAQs

Are these stones safe for younger children?

Yes, they are designed for sensory play, though adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 due to the size of the stones.

What is the recommended age range?

They are ideal for children aged 2 to 7 years old.

Are these suitable for a classroom setting?

Absolutely, they are a popular resource for early years settings, nurseries, and primary schools for science and sensory exploration.

What material are the stones made of?

They are made from a proprietary durable resin mix designed to feel like stone while remaining shatter-resistant.

The set includes 12 individual sensory stones.

Troubleshooting

Stones are dirty from soil or sand

Soak the stones in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and scrub gently with a soft brush to clear out the textures.

Children are not sure how to use them

Begin by hiding them in a sensory bin to encourage discovery, or use a magnifying glass alongside the stones to compare the carvings with real insects found outdoors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required; the stones are ready for use immediately out of the box. To maintain the tactile detail and longevity of the stones, wash them with mild soap and warm water after outdoor play in soil or mud. They are fully compatible with other sensory bin fillers like pebbles, glass gems, or dried beans. When not in use, store them in a dry container or the original packaging to keep the set complete.
