Rainbow shapes to string, stack and explore
Let little hands embark on a colorful journey of discovery by stringing shapes and colors! This set of rainbow lace shapes from Tickit is made of solid beech wood in shades of the seven rainbow colors. Each shape feels firm yet soft, perfect for young children to explore with.
The set includes 28 shapes (four of each) plus a lace cord with a wooden threading needle and stopper for easy lacing. The shapes are identifiable as flower, hexagon, crown, square, star, triangle, and heart – perfect for sorting, stacking, and combining.

By stringing, stacking and arranging:
- a child practices fine motor skills and the pincer grip
- develops hand-eye coordination and concentration
- discovers shapes and colors in a playful way
- stimulates logical thinking and sequencing
- tactile experiences are linked to language and description

The rainbow colours and shapes make this not only a fun threading game, but also a versatile set for free play , themed activities and learning activities around patterns, sorting and recognition .

Playing suggestions specific to this game:
- String the shapes in color order, like a real rainbow
- Make serial patterns (e.g. light-dark-light-dark) and have children imitate them
- Use the shapes as counting materials : how many hearts are there?
- Combine with other wooden rainbow sets for open-ended play
- 'Sales' forms in a role-play shop to stimulate language exchange

This game encourages independent play , but can also be used beautifully in duo or group play, allowing children to help each other and practice language.
