Description:
This set of transparent large buttons in a mini jar encourages hands-on exploration of colour, light and early maths while supporting fine motor development. The compact storage jar makes it easy to bring the counters to a classroom activity or to a sensory play session at home. Use them on a light panel to investigate colour mixing and translucency, or include them in counting games for toddlers.
Key Points
These small but substantial counters work well as a sensory toy and a light panel accessory. According to the manufacturer, the set includes 60 pieces presented in a handy mini jar with a lid and carry handle, which helps keep the collection organised and portable. The buttons are transparent so they let light through, making colour mixing simple and visually engaging on illuminated surfaces. 🎨
The pieces are suitable for very young children, with the product labelled for ages 18M+. They are useful for developing pincer grip, hand-eye coordination and basic sorting and counting skills. For extra challenge, threading activities can be added by using laces, although laces are not included with the set. 🔍

Usage Recommendations
Use the buttons on a light table to explore how colours overlap and change brightness when layers are combined. Place a few counters on coloured paper or over printed patterns to show how translucent objects alter appearance. For early numeracy, group the buttons into small sets and ask children to count, compare quantities and sort by colour or size. 🧠
To encourage fine motor progress, offer tweezers or encourage pinching and picking up individual buttons. When adding threading activities, supervise closely and use laces appropriate for the child. Consider that the pieces are small and therefore require supervision with younger children according to the age guidance on the product.
