Shape Building Blocks - the ultimate resource for young architects and engineers!

This carefully curated set features a vibrant mix of mini planks, rectangles, squares, and triangles, offering endless construction options. Children can start crafting their roads, houses, bridges and story-telling prompters. Each piece is durable enough to tackle even the boldest engineering challenges, introducing early mathematical, construction and problem-solving concepts like symmetry and balance while building intricate structures.

They will start to figure out how to connect pathways with colourful boulders (available separately) to sprawling wooden landscapes filled with various wooden trees. From crafting sturdy bridges for peg people to designing enchanting cottages for fairy dolls, these slim hollow blocks bring endless possibilities to the table. Perfect for classroom and outdoor adventures, this versatile set inspires imaginative play while developing essential skills like spatial awareness and problem-solving—all wrapped up in fun!

These blocks also shine when paired with complementary resources like our medium furniture set or tinkering natural resources (available separately). Add a few wooden trees for natural charm, or use tiny logs to build imaginative pathways for a woodland adventure. The possibilities are as limitless as the learners’ creativity.
