American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
This Kit is designed to supply the blocks
recommended in Lester Walker's "Block Building for Children" which is
sold elsewhere on this site. Like all books of this type, it starts
with a list of pieces that are required to build the projects in the
book. Included are the optional finials that the book recommends
as well as the large quarter arches required to make certain buildings.
The Walker Kit is an excellent kit for children 3 years old. At this
age, children are able to stack blocks on top of one another, make
towers, and enjoy seeing them fall over. They are able to understand
abstraction a good deal better, and will recognize that differently
shaped triangles are still triangles. They love to play with their
parents and make things together. They are first learning how a
building might be assembled.
The kit does not include the book.
Ages 3+
