Translucent Tactile Shells, 108 pcs
These see-through shells are simply irresistible to curious little fingers. The 108 shells come in two sizes and feature six different textures — perfect for stimulating your child’s tactile sense (that’s why they’re called tactile shells).Â
Use the shells with sand, water, kinetic sand, or on a light table. Mix the colours and talk about them, describe the different textures, or create a moment of calm by asking the children to sort the shells without looking. Count them in English, compare sizes, make patterns… the possibilities are endless with these gorgeous tactile shells.Â
The handy plastic container also includes an activity guide.
The large shells measure 5.4 cm and the small ones 4 cm.Â

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
