In the hands of little builders, these vibrant, handcrafted blocks transform into grand churches and castles reminiscent of Romanesque architecture from medieval Europe. They can even build self-supporting round arches, like those designed by the Romans! Children will be inspired to use these unique blocks to re-create the bulky stonework found on cathedrals or city walls for imaginative adventures with knights, kings, princesses and dragons! The Building Set's innovative shapes encourage open-ended construction and storytelling, plus give children opportunities for exercising fine motor skills and expanding their spatial and creative abilities. This large-sized set is wonderfully inspiring for creative building and pretend play, especially when used in combination with elements like stones of glass, play silks, sand, dolls and more to create fantastic imaginative worlds for pretend play. It decorates any room, has a stimulative nature, and encourages open-ended play and creativity.
