The unusually well-crafted wooden components that make up this set inspire kids to engage in a huge range of stimulating and rewarding play experiences. Youngsters' launch themselves into an endless stream of explorations in which they build, sort, stack, rearrange and investigate every possibility that springs to mind in response to the set's widely varied physical characteristics. The 50 well-sized wooden parts include loop rings, nesting bowls, stacking cubes, curved arches, doll figures, barrel beads, spool bobbins and spheres. It is precisely because many of these shapes don't fit together in any obvious way that they trigger such an onslaught of exploration and creativity. Kids sift through an endless stream of self-guided activities in response to which their physical, cognitive and social skills readily blossom: problem solving, reasoning, creativity, cooperation, innovation, perseverance, motor skills and more. Included with the set is a STEM Guided Activities booklet that provides invaluable guidance for parent- and educator-directed play.
