Advanced Kit
Firsts and Seconds
American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The Advanced Kit is the best kit for the family with more than one child in the prime age for blocks, around five to seven. It is also suitable for small day care operations serving three or four children. It includes a full range of pieces including ten of the 22 inch rectangles, and over one hundred of the basic rectangular blocks of other sizes. It includes 392 pieces.There are enough blocks for making numerous large buildings, roads, roofs, smokestacks, garages and towers. It is big enough for three or four children to enjoy without a lot of squabbling over the coveted blocks. At this age, teachers and parents should engage children in family play and a good way to do this is to take a picture of an existing building and to recreate it in blocks. Many small schools and kindergartens make a ritual of taking the blocks out to play, and putting them away carefully sorted by size and shape. This reinforces good habits and also reemphasizes the mathematical properties of these unit toys.
