Description

This set of 28 brightly colored foam blocks have a silicone coating that allows them to stick together, to glass, or to the sides of your bathtub for bath time fun. The best part is that they won't stick to your clothes and there's no messy residue to get into fabric or carpets. If they get dirty, just wipe them off and begin again. Each set includes 6 squares, 5 rectangles, 6 small triangles, 5 large triangles, 2 cylinders, and 4 arch pieces. Squares measure 3.5cm; four will form a 7cm square, two rectangles are equal to a 7cm square, 2 large triangles will also equal a 7cm square, etc. Although these will encourage hours of building fun, they can also be used to demonstrate math concepts because of the many ways the shapes can be combined to form a whole 7cm square. ~ Donna
