The sets have been carefully designed and materials meticulously selected to harmonise with each other, to give opportunity for open-ended play experiences with lots of sensory objects to investigate and possible ideas for children to explore.
Sets range from $50 to $90 with some having a slight theme for added fun. What I like about the materials used in each set is how the women have selected pieces that complement each other and have used a combination of natural material and plastic objects. I have also found that some of the individual pieces are intriguing just in themselves, which will offer children the opportunity to question and ask about the individual object, allowing for extensions of play in other areas such as storytime, painting or craft.
The following photos are some of the sets that the two ladies have put together and have been sold by customers who were delighted with their new inspirations.

I hope that the play sets inspire teachers and parents to look further into play experiences and the positive benefits of play experiences such as Homemade Rainbows rather than store purchased toys.
