This set contains 100 large blocks in a zipped storage bag and is designed as a starter set or to add to an existing set.

Tested by Julie Mortimer, Childminder, Sudbury, Suffolk

'It is user friendly and the children enjoyed it. It covers many areas of learning: counting as towers were built, imagination, sharing, taking turns, identifying colours and physical play. The pieces are large and chunky and safe for very young children and the bag is useful for storage. We liked it so much that I have had requests for more.'

Rating: 5/5
