This 170 piece building set is so much fun and so intuitive to use that children leap right in and start constructing things without even having to glance at the easy-to follow instructions. The set consists of 70 building blocks in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors plus 94 links and 6 hinges (for creating working doors and shutters) that connect them together at various angles. Every block is grooved on all four sides, allowing any connector to be slid almost effortlessly into the slots and join pieces together. The ease with which Groovy Blocks can be connected, disconnected and rearranged inspires constant exploration and invention. Rooftops, adjoining walls, floor to wall connections, windows, coffee tables, couches, patio chairs, towers, castles (and on and on), spring up so quickly that kids' creative juices flow freely. It's a marvel to watch the things they come up with on the spur of the moment! Groovy Blocks helps develop creativity, problem-solving skills, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
