Something genuinely magical happens when a child taps a glowing brick and watches it burst into colour - and the TTS Light Up Glow Spheres, Cylinders & Bricks set turns that single moment of discovery into a rich, multi-sensory exploration session. Available across Canada & the US through The Sensory Supply, this 30-piece rechargeable construction set brings together three distinct shape types in a single kit designed to grow alongside a child's curiosity.

What Makes This Set Different from Standard Construction Toys

Most building sets end at stacking. This one starts there and keeps going. The combination of 12 bricks, 12 cylinders, and 6 tactile spheres gives children a far wider range of physical interaction than single-shape sets - rolling, posting, balancing, stacking, and sorting all happen naturally as children move through the pieces. Each shape illuminates on contact and holds its glow for up to three minutes, creating a rewarding cause-and-effect loop that keeps young hands and minds engaged without any screens or batteries to swap.

The USB rechargeable design means this set is built for continuous use in busy environments. No hunting for replacement batteries mid-session, no downtime between groups. For early years classrooms, sensory rooms, OT clinics, and therapy spaces across North America, that practical detail matters as much as the play value.

Key Features of the TTS Light Up Glow Spheres, Cylinders & Bricks Set

• Tap-activated illumination across all 30 pieces - each sphere, cylinder, and brick lights up on contact, providing an immediate sensory reward that reinforces cause-and-effect understanding and keeps children motivated to explore
• Three distinct shapes in one set - the combination of spheres, cylinders, and bricks within a single kit encourages shape recognition, spatial reasoning, and comparative thinking as children naturally sort, match, and build across forms
• Textured tactile surfaces on the spheres - the tactile glow spheres feature raised patterns that provide rich proprioceptive and touch-discrimination feedback, supporting sensory integration and fine motor development simultaneously
• USB rechargeable design - charges via standard USB cable, making this set practical for daily use in classrooms, clinics, and home settings without the ongoing cost or inconvenience of disposable batteries
• Durable, child-safe materials - constructed from robust, child-friendly materials built to withstand active construction play, dropping, and frequent handling across all ages and settings
• Aligned with EYFS curriculum goals - meets multiple Early Years Foundation Stage criteria, supporting Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design through hands-on technology exploration
• 30-piece complete kit - includes 12 light-up construction bricks, 6 light-up tactile glow spheres, and 12 light-up glow cylinders, providing enough variety and volume for individual, paired, or small-group sessions

Skills Children Develop with the TTS Glow Spheres, Cylinders & Bricks Set

• Fine Motor & Tactile Skills - handling, squeezing, and manipulating pieces of different sizes and textures builds hand strength and dexterity, supporting the precise grip and control children need for writing, self-care, and daily independence
• Cause-and-Effect & Cognitive Development - tapping a piece and watching it glow is a child's first experiment in stimulus and response, laying the cognitive groundwork for logical thinking, problem-solving, and early scientific inquiry
• Visual Discrimination & Sensory Integration - the combination of glow, colour, shape, and texture in a single activity engages the visual and tactile sensory systems simultaneously, supporting sensory integration and focus
• Spatial Awareness & Mathematical Thinking - sorting spheres from cylinders from bricks, stacking by height, and building structures introduces early geometry and spatial concepts in a completely hands-on, low-pressure way
• Language & Communication - describing what a shape feels like, what colour it is, and what happened when it was tapped builds rich early vocabulary across science, maths, and sensory language

Who This Set Is For

This set works beautifully across a wide range of settings and ages. Parents building engaging home play environments will find it holds attention across multiple children at once - the baby reaching for a glowing sphere, the toddler posting cylinders, the older child stacking bricks into towers. Early years educators and EYFS teachers will recognise the curriculum alignment immediately and appreciate how seamlessly these pieces integrate into construction corners, dark dens, sensory tables, and maths stations.

Occupational therapists and allied health professionals working with children who have sensory processing differences will find the multi-shape tactile feedback particularly valuable - and the fact that every piece illuminates on contact creates consistent, predictable sensory input that supports self-regulation and focus. This is a set designed for neurodiverse and neurotypical learners alike, for families and classrooms, for home corners and therapy suites from coast to coast.

• 12 Light-up construction bricks.
