Pastel Rainbow Arches | Sensory Nesting Stackers
Little arches, lovely textures and endless possibilities for play!
What is it?
Meet our Pastel Rainbow Arches, a beautiful set of six nesting rainbow pieces, thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and hands-on exploration.
Featuring a gentle combination of pastel shades and different raised textures, each arch offers something a little different to discover.
Stack them, nest them, balance them or transform them into bridges, tunnels and imaginative little worlds. These versatile arches encourage children to explore shapes, sizes, colours and textures through open-ended play.
What can it be used for?
Our Pastel Rainbow Arches offer so many opportunities for playful learning and discovery!
Stacking & Nesting: Explore size, sequencing and spatial awareness by arranging the arches from smallest to largest.
Sensory & Tactile Exploration: Discover different raised patterns and textures, encouraging tactile exploration and descriptive language.
Colour Recognition: Identify, name, match and compare colours through hands-on activities.
Early Maths: Introduce mathematical language including bigger, smaller, taller, shorter, over, under and between.

What is it made from?
Each rainbow arch is carefully 3D printed in the UK using PLA, a plant-derived plastic commonly produced from renewable materials such as corn starch.
Our arches are lightweight, sturdy and reusable, with a selection of raised surface textures that add another dimension to hands-on exploration.
Please note: Colours, shades and the order of colours may differ from those shown in our product photographs. Each set will feature a beautiful combination of soft pastel-inspired colours, but the exact arrangement may vary.
