The set of Imagination Playground Big Blue Blocks consists of 17 different shapes, and are available in a vibrant shade of blue. Most importantly, they are deeply engaged, active and have hours of fun. Children enjoy an endless variety of play patterns including construction, pretend play, role-playing and inventing their own games. These modular, rectilinear parts are easy to stack, line up and move around. Because Imagination Playground is child-directed and open-ended, it encourages self-expression through deep, joyful play. They inspire children to design their own inventions, environments and activities.
The Big Blue Blocks Set includes bricks and cylinders, accented with chutes, channels and parts that suggest motion or connectivity. Imagination Playground's most popular collection is designed for large indoor or outdoor spaces such as playgrounds, schools, gyms, parks, museums, or child care facilities.
