Description
123 pieces allow you to build and design different castles and solve medieval conundrums! Can you figure out how to launch the catapult? Lower the drawbridge? Trigger the trapdoors?
Plenty of fun pretend play along with academic STEM challenges! These great set include lots of sturdy pieces along with activity cards. The double-sided cards guide you through the process of completing certain structures, and then give you a challenge relating to that structure to figure out. For example, the card may show how to design a bridge. Then you are asked to modify the bridge to allow taller ships to pass underneath or you are shown how to construct castle towers and then challenged to connect them with a walkway of some sort. The back of each card lists some possible solutions if you get stuck. ~ Megan
