Why you'll love this product
-
Explore cause and effect
Pushing the arms creates an immediate spinning response, helping children connect physical action with what happens next. This hands-on cause and effect experience supports active investigation.
-
Follow eight moving colours
Eight different coloured wooden balls move with the arms, providing changing visual detail to follow. Practitioners can use the rotating colours for visual attention and colour recognition activity.
-
Listen to the clacking sound
The wooden spheres create a clickety-clackety sound as the arms spin. This auditory response helps children notice movement and gives practitioners language to describe sound, action and change.
-
Develop movement and coordination
The freely rotating arms invite children to push, reach and coordinate their movements. Exploring direction and speed through active movement supports gross motor skills and coordination.
-
Support rotation schema exploration
The spinning action offers an accessible way to explore the rotation schema. Practitioners can encourage curiosity, early STEAM development and language about movement and change.
Learn Well Wooden Manipulative Clacking Windmill
Clacking Windmill with two turning windmills on a wooden frame for hands-on movement exploration.
Overview
Each windmill rotates freely as children push them round. Wooden spheres built into the wooden arms make a pleasing clacking sound as the windmill arms spin round.
Practitioners can offer babies and toddlers hands-on exploration of movement and response. One touch will send the windmills spinning round making a pleasing clickety-clackety sound. Ideal for children who enjoy the rotation schema. Can children make both windmills turn? Can the children make them spin faster? Children will enjoy exploring the simple cause and effect of this beautifully crafted wooden toy. With eight different coloured wooden balls to watch as they spin, there is much to encourage the inquisitive mind, early stem and language development.
The resource supports the EYFS physical development aim of encouraging gross motor skills. Children push the arms and observe the result, exploring coordination through direct physical action. They can investigate how their actions affect the direction and speed of the spinning arms through simple cause and effect.
For personal, social and emotional development, it supports the EYFS aim of encouraging babies and toddlers to explore. Eight different coloured wooden balls add changing visual detail as the arms rotate, giving practitioners opportunities to encourage language about movement, sound and change.
