This 200-piece set takes the blah out of blocks, especially for kids who create best with lots of pieces, lots of color, and lots of space Kids three to eight years old will not be hindered by a lack of material for their castles, bridges, fortresses, towers, houses, and more. There is an abundance of sizes and shapes, including a greater proportion of squares and triangles, since these are the foundation of any building project. The lightweight, wooden pieces are coated with shiny, enamel paint red, yellow, blue, and green that resists chipping. In addition to building structures, kids may also enjoy sorting the blocks by color, shape, and size or just stacking them up and knocking them down. This set also invites plenty of opportunity for kids to put their imagination to use in creating unique games to play alone or with their friends or caregivers. This set promotes hand-eye coordination, color and shape recognition, counting and sorting, spatial relationships, creative and imaginative thinking. This great variety of blocks plus a child's imagination will provide years of constructive play.
