How are houses designed? What shapes do you see in buildings? Our engaging building center teaches kids to look closer at real-life designs—and make original homes that use the same important elements! Created to encourage open-ended building with minimal teacher involvement, our center includes 8 photo cards showing actual buildings, plus tons of hands-on manipulatives that invite children to build, explore & engineer—again & again! For easy reference, the back of each photo card explains key elements for each design—so it’s easy to guide children’s learning. You get 130 geometric, interlocking plastic pieces and 8 photo cards. Center comes in an 11 1/2" plastic storage tub; longest building piece is 4".
Develops skills in creative design; shapes and basic geometry; and fine motor skills.
