Binocolours

Once children understand various aspects of colour as seen on objects <see how> (link to Colour Wheels) , it's time to view colour as an abstract property without associating it to physical objects.

This toy thrills children as they see the world in different colours using an object beyond the human eye. The wide variety of filters excites them when they look at the world around them appear differently with each colour. This allows children to perceive colour as an abstract property or an adjective used to describe an object.

This is the first time the child is able to grasp the complex aspect of colour being an abstract property as the objects they see take on the colour of the filter they are looking through. While using the binoculars, the activity of changing and applying filters is also a great exercise to hone fine motor skills.

Once children are done with this toy, they can begin to explore other areas of development (See How <link to Journey Page>)
