Description

Bricks to make your own

Sets in the Make & Create / Bricks & More range live on the fact that they do not dictate a particular model. You get a selection of basic bricks, plates and a few special shapes, and you decide what becomes of them: a house, an animal, a vehicle or something entirely abstract. For children this is a good way into free building, because the box asks for no instructions and every idea counts. Adults also like such boxes as a base stock. Parents benefit too, since the box needs no fixed instructions and is not tied to a single play theme.

Why pink and white

The main colours are bright pink, white, red and orange. That mix is friendly, light and unusual for a brick box, since many basic sets rely on red, blue and yellow. Pink turns up less often in older sets, so the pink bricks are interesting for your own projects, for example flowers, houses or fantasy creatures. At 216 pieces the box is small to medium in size, and the quantity is enough for several small models one after another. The same goes for builders who like laying mosaics and need particular colours for it.

Few shapes, many bricks

Only 40 of the 216 pieces are unique, which means many shapes repeat. In a free-build box that is an advantage: you have several of the most important bricks and can put up walls, towers or patterns without running out of the right piece after the second building step. The parts list on this page shows which shapes are present in which colour, and helps with checking if you want an overview of your stock. That makes the box an inexpensive way to top up your own supply of basic bricks and widen the choice for later projects.

A base for other sets

A brick box complements any collection because it supplies precisely the standard parts that larger models often lack. Add the set to your collection and the Was kann ich bauen? tool on this page will show which other sets can be assembled with your bricks. The pink box then becomes a reserve of ideas you could not have seen without instructions, and you have something to keep building with right away. If you are unsure where to start, try small shapes first, such as a house or an animal.
