Melissa & Doug Blockables™ are connectable, stackable, and playable! The solid wood connect-and-play building blocks are perfect manipulatives to help preschoolers two and older boost developmental skills (fine motor, problem-solving, matching, storytelling, and self-esteem), while using their imaginations and having fun! Easy-to-grasp smooth, colorful wooden blocks fit together in a snap with large connectors that even little hands can push in and pull out. An illustrated guide shows how to arrange and link the Blockables™ to create multi-textured woodland animals (a raccoon, bear, fox, and porcupine with felt spikes), or kids can use their imaginations to mix, match, and combine pieces to make unique figures and play their own way! The 16-piece Woodland Friends Play Set is a great starter set or add-on to any Blockables™ collection, as it’s compatible with all other Blockables™ play sets. Patent pending.
