STEM Learning for Early Childhood

3 years & up. 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 and is ideal for one or two builders. 55-piece set. Cars and people not included.

3 years & up. Building upon the multi-faceted early childhood development benefits of unit block play, this sturdy wooden truck is designed to overlay a lesson on how a simple machine works. This large wooden truck has a removable articulating trailer with a large wooden crane for maximum mobility. Children can position the rotating crane and release the wrecking ball to knock down block structures, encouraging cause-and-effect learning, spatial reasoning, and early engineering thinking. This Block Science Big Truck helps teach simple machine and STEM concepts while encouraging construction, deconstruction, teamwork, social interaction and self-expression. Measures 18"H x 5.5"D x 16.75"L.
