Translucent Sensory Semispheres, 8 pcs
These translucent acrylic semispheres are fascinating for both kids and adults. Because they are made of plastic, they don't feel cold to the touch like glass, but instead take on the room temperature. Their smooth surface invites your child to touch and explore them up close.Even the littlest adventurers will have a blast playing freely with the semispheres, or using them as part of a treasure trove filled with other "gems".Older children will find the semispheres fascinating to hold and look through - suddenly, they'll see the world around them tinted in different colours. And they'll be excited to discover that placing the semispheres over an object magnifies it by 4-5 times.And when you layer the different colours on top of each other, it creates entirely new colours and shades.These semispheres work perfectly with our light panel and make it easy and inspiring to mix colours and experiment with visual expressions.Size: 5 cm in diameter.*In 2015, these sensory semispheres won Silver at the Practical Pre-School Awards.
As one specialist said, “Our children loved them - in water play or in sensory trays.
Our children have truly enjoyed playing with them. The semispheres are a great investment for any childcare setting** Children love to look through them and roll them around. Excellent for children with sensory sensitivity or special needs!”
**The play enthusiasts at Toy Academy think they’re great for parents too!

Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
