Melissa and Doug Blockables are linkable, 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 imagination 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 Blockable 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 Blockable 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.
