The shapes and colours of this building set are inspired by Friedrich W. A. Fröbel’s concepts about child development and education. Friedrich W. A. Fröbel (1782-1852) was a German pedagogue who created the concept of the “kindergarten”. Later on, children find everything they need for building with the 46 blocks in the Supplement Building Set. Children can build walls, fences, stalls as well as houses, towers and castles… whatever their play requires to be built. By building and playing with these blocks, children develop fine motor skills and spatial thinking skills. Like the rest of the Grimm’s toys that are of heirloom quality, this hand-crafted set from Germany includes colourful wooden blocks that are incredibly sturdy and will definitely last a long time. This basic 30-piece set perfectly complements other Grimm’s building set that can be added later on, as your child makes more complex constructions. Made from water-based stains, the blocks are non-toxic and safe for your child. Building sets are ideal for kids as they promote small-muscle exercise, eye-hand coordination, and sequencing. Children also feel a sense of accomplishment when they see their own masterpiece. 30 building blocks in a wooden frame.
