3 years & up. Block Science, as a pioneering extension
of the unit blocks system, adds a rich introduction to physics and essential
cognitive development to traditional classroom block play. This Foundation Set
is designed to exercise early engineering concepts, collaboration, and the
study of matter, motion and mathematics. Plastic building and roadway clips
stabilize builds, drawbridges and loops to enable taller, sturdier and more
mobile tracks and builds. Simplified, wooden cars with soft plastic wheels
easily glide across the solid wood tracks while carrying algebraic people
designed for mathematical and dramatic play activities. Foundation Set includes
Concept Cards for building examples and language associations. Made from beech wood and polypropylene plastic. Requires
standard unit blocks for proper building experience. 92-piece set.
Features:
- Composed of smooth sanded beech wood, rubberwood pieces, and over-molded plastic building clips
- Enhance and expand on traditional block play
- Smooth sanded beech wood roadways connect with plastic roadway clips
- Over-molded plastic building clips create stable builds and fit standard unit blocks
- Algebraic people have symbols for math activities or differentiation during dramatic play
- Develop fine motor skills, early engineering concepts, teamwork, collaboration, spatial thinking, problem solving, and STEM concepts
