This exquisite set of sculptures cry out to be touched, held, and enjoyed. Their tactile nature is an invitation to sensory play; the mixture of shapes and textures gives good feedback to touch, as does the weighty feel, as the forms are made of a stone composite. Ideal to enrich sensory experiences, these calming sculptures fit snugly and reassuringly in a child’s hand. They are durable enough to be played with outside, including in sand, soil, mud, and water.
