Shapes Stacking Tower

Abstractionists changed the world of art – they opened a human mind and taught people to see unusual things in usual forms. An abstract picture has millions of interpretations, so does our sculptural stacking tower called Shapes.

Look at it very attentively; ask your child to do the same. What do you see? A ship with a mast? A planets’ parade? Different sorts of cheese? We will silence here and you decide. Let the game begin!

How to play:

Build anything you like from details
Outline each shape with a pencil on a paper and color them
String the parts on a twine or a ribbon and wear it like a necklace

Why we love blocks

Spatial awareness

Like puzzle pieces, blocks fit together. Unlike puzzle pieces, they can do so in a variety of ways. Learning to predict what fits where is the work of many years. Which pieces will I need? Do I have enough? The expert can see simply by turning the blocks over in her mind.
Small world play

Is your castle missing a section of wall? Does your railway need a tunnel? Never fear! Here is your humble set of blocks to the rescue. Infinitely versatile, blocks provide the canvas upon which to paint your stories.
Pattern-making

Red, blue, red, blue; big, small, big, small. So much of early mathematical thinking is about making patterns. Can you see how it's a small skip from here to odds and evens or the two-times table? A set of blocks like the one above can even illustrate a number's relative size and how it can be combined to make ten.
