Beginner C07
Premium Maple
American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The Beginner Kit C is a "tweenie" Kit consisting of our Beginner Kit A with an additional box of big pieces. This makes it more robust than the Beginner Kit A, but more economical than the Base Kit A on the next page. A five year old would do well with this kit. At this age, children are able to translate a picture of something into a block replica (though they are imaginative enough to create their own structures), as soon as they master the idea of a box on top of another box by planking over the first box with roof planks. They may also start out by laying out flat constructions such as airplanes with wings or stick figures before starting to build vertically. As time proceeds, children will now begin to integrate more fanciful stories and will employ dolls and toy soldiers. Blocks this size also work well with small cars, and parents may wish to buy road intersections and additional road planks from open stock. At younger ages, children will use more of the rectangles than anything else, but parents should resist the temptation to avoid the small and the more intricate pieces. The basic rectangles are necessary and always in short supply, but these alone will not suffice. A lot of roof planks and road planks are also important. The small pieces are extremely useful for decoration and for adding visual interest to simple buildings.Ages 3+
