Tickit SiliShapes Linking People – Pk36

Made from soft silicone these realistic linking people consist of 6 families with 6 family members – each made of a different transparent colour (making each character entirely different from the others) that can be linked by their hands. Characters include grandad & grandma, mum & dad and girl & boy. Moulded with realistic features and in proportion they can be used across the curriculum.

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 as well as on a light box to see colour mixing or the effect when reflected in a mirror. They are good to help children 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 without harm. The set comes with an information sheet of ideas in 8 languages for use across the curriculum.
