Set sail on a sensory adventure with our tickit® Rainbow Gel Alpha Boats! Attractive, colourful alphabet boats with capital letters on one side and corresponding lower case letters on the other side. Vowels have transparent filling for easy identification and differentiation.

The vibrant and tactile squidgy boats contain gel-like beads in the seven different colours of the rainbow. The texture and colour of these alpha boats will capture your child's attention and curiosity, supporting them with learning letters and sounds, the order of the alphabet, the difference between consonants and vowels, colour recognition and colour-mixing.

Ideal for sensory discovery too. They can be played with in water, jelly or foam and can even be frozen to create a new and exciting texture and feeling.

Each boat has a loop at the top so fascinating displays or mobiles can be created as the boats catch the light, and observe colour-mixing properties as the coloured fish overlap. The squishy sensation of moving the gel-beads around creates a calming sensory experience for your child.

Love the boats!! Just be careful with them in water.

Beautiful boats, love the colours, letters and the size of them are great! Only comment I will say is that we used them in my daughters sensory mood light water table and one of the boats filled up with water and when playing with it I noticed that the balls inside the boat have pushed themselves out of the seam which is abit of a chocking hazard for my SEN 3 year old! Love the product otherwise and understand they need to be supervised but just want others to be aware

Educational delight.

These sensory gel boats are so colourful and tactile. My great nephew loves them especially when you shine a light through them to reveal colours. There is so much you can do with them from hanging them up to freezing them. The only downside is there is no instruction booklet so I had to advise my nephews Mum to go online to get advice on how to use them.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! You can see some of our play ideas for our Alpha Boats here - https://www.tickit.co.uk/blogs/news/tickit-alphabet-gel-boats-activity-guide

A welcome addition

These letter boats are great, they have both the lowercase and capital letters on. My son loves exploring them in maybe different ways, we've used them in small world, letter recognition, sensory play and more. They really captured his imagination.

Thanks for taking the time to review our Rainbow Gel Alpha Boats! It's lovely to hear they are being used in such imaginative ways

Sensory fun

The Alph boats are another great learning recourse for my girls. Due to them being waterproof we can use them in lots of different sensory ways (my girls have SEN ). They have both lower and upper case letters on them, making playtime fun and educational.

Thank you for your review of our Rainbow Gel Alpha Boats, so pleased to hear your girls are using them to learn through play!
