Masterkidz translucent shapes are a simple yet brilliant way to explore shapes and the secrets of colour mixing.

These translucent acrylic shapes are made of durable acrylic in precise colours. By layering them, children see how colours mix – for example red and yellow make orange. The shapes can be used to build geometric compositions and patterns. They look great on the Masterkidz LED light panel or by a window. The set is stored in a sturdy wooden box.

What your child develops

• Colour understanding. Mixing is visible straight away.
• Geometry. Shape compositions.
• Creativity. Own patterns and pictures.
• Curiosity. Experiments with light.

How to play

By the window place a red shape on a yellow one and ask what colour appears.

Make pictures – a house, a rocket or a butterfly – from different shapes.
