There are 54 construction cards included in this set and children will love the challenge of building the various items including towers, sea-saw, helicopter, bicycle, truck and various shapes. Many of these challenge cards require children to investigate BALANCE.
.
These cards are to be used alongside standard coloured wooden blocks and popsicle sticks as shown in the pictures. This would make an ideal independent activity station for a Pre-School or Reception class. There are varying levels of difficulty which students can select from. Alternatively, they could work alongside an adult to work on a more challenging building task.

Fine-motor skills
Problem solving and reasoning skills
Hand-eye co-ordination
Language development
