DT264 Traditional Building Blocks, Starter Set (86 pcs)
$270.00
In choosing work that will engage a child in creative activity for long periods of time, building blocks win hands down. As far as planning, focus, and concentration, there has never been a toy in our house that has engaged a child for longer periods of time in constructive activity. Blocks are probably the most important creative toys for young children. Through block play a child learns about physics—the relationship between weight, balance, and stability. The child improves physical coordination and eye-hand control, and learns about geometric plane and solid forms. Combined with the use of little human figures and animal models, blocks are extremely good for the imagination and the processing of everyday events and emotions. Each block is finely sanded, all edges beveled and corners safely rounded. They are based on the traditional unit of 2.75" x 5.5" x 1.25."
The Starter Set contains 86 pieces in 14 shapes and weighs 50 pounds. The blocks are specially made and can take up a month to receive. Price includes the extra shipping costs on heavy items.
