The Polar World
A sensory and luminous educational tray that invites exploration, manipulation, and creation.
This tray immerses the child in a calming polar world inspired by ice and the ocean. It allows them to manipulate, combine, and reproduce scenes using animals, ice pieces, and evolving game cards.
Through hands-on manipulation, the child learns by observing, organizing, and creating, while developing their language, logic, and fine motor skills.
How to use the tray in the classroom or at home
The child picks a card and reproduces the illustrated scene using the ice pieces and animals. The progressive levels allow them to evolve at their own pace and develop their observation and logic.
They can then use the vocabulary cards to name the animals, match the images, and write the words using the acrylic letters or the erasable marker.
The tray can also be used for free play. The child creates their own scenes, invents stories, and explores the elements according to their imagination.
The light highlights the elements and creates an environment conducive to concentration and engagement.
