This robust set of chunky wooden blocks with illustrations will encourage kids to use their imaginations as they examine insects in their natural habitats! The set consists of 11 New Zealand Pine bug blocks, 3 Birch plywood scenery dividers which slot together and an MDF base board. The base board contains pre-cut grooves which house the dividers to create 3D habitats for the bugs. All pieces are clearly coated with a non-toxic, water-based lacquer. The thick, Pine minibeasts easily stand upright on their own to complete the scene! Includes 15 pieces: 3 connecting scenery pieces, base board and 11 bugs: dragonfly, ladybird, wolf spider, bee, snail, centipede, worm, rainbow stag beetle, butterfly, caterpillar and cricket. Sizes range from 17.25″L x 11.75″W for the base board to 1.5″L x 1.25″W for the bee.
- Unique, colorful illustrations of bugs are heat transfer printed onto thick Pine blocks to create a vibrant minibeast collection for ages 2+!
- Three Birch plywood scenery dividers plus a wooden base plate are included. The pieces easily slot together to create 6 different bug habitats for your precious minibeasts.
- The six bug habitats are: vegetable garden, lily pads in a pond, fall forest floor, compost and flower bed, wild flowers by a river and a rocky cave.
- All pieces are coated with a safe, water-based lacquer, making them smooth to touch and chip-proof. Bug blocks are easy for small hands to grasp too!
- Encourage kids to create narratives as they role play with these larger than life-sized insect blocks.
- Kids build problem solving skills as they decide how to arrange bugs in their habitats. Identify features, categorize bugs and act out bug movements and sounds!
