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 safari animals (zebra, alligator, lion with felt mane, elephant with felt ears, and giraffe), or kids can use their imaginations to mix, match, and combine pieces to make unique figures and play their own way! Kids can easily expand their collection -- the 34-piece Safari Play Set is compatible with all other Blockables™ play sets. The packaging folds out to convert into a fun play space and pieces store in the sturdy corrugated box with a soft handle for easy cleanup and portability. Patent pending.
