Melissa & Doug Blockables™ are connectable, stackable, and playable! The solid wood connect-and-play building blocks are perfect manipulatives to help preschoolers two and older boost developmental skills (fine motor, problem-solving, matching, storytelling, and self-esteem), while using their imaginations and having fun. Easy-to-grasp smooth, colorful wooden blocks fit together in a snap with large connectors that even little hands can push in and pull out. An illustrated guide shows how to arrange and link the Blockables™ to create multi-textured farm animals and equipment (a tractor and trailer, cow with felt horns, sheep, pig, horse, chicken with felt wings, food, and a hay bale), or kids can use their imaginations to mix, match, and combine pieces to make unique creations and play their own way! Kids can easily expand their collection -- the 56-piece Farm Play Set is compatible with all other Blockables™ play sets. The packaging folds out to convert into a fun play space and pieces store in the sturdy corrugated box with a soft handle for easy cleanup and portability. Patent pending.
