Description
A box made for groups
Bulk packs like this are meant for nurseries, schools and after-school clubs where many children build at the same time. Instead of one model you get a large supply of parts to hand round. Accordingly there is no set of instructions for a single structure, just room for towers, walls and imaginary creations. At home it also works well when several children play together and nobody should end up short of bricks. The pack is therefore more a tool for learning together than a collector's piece.
Only 28 element types
The notable thing about this set is that 564 pieces share just 28 different types. There are very many identical bricks, which stack, connect and swap easily. For small hands that is simple to survey, since new shapes do not keep appearing. If you plan something bigger, the quantity helps. You will look in vain for special parts, but everything is available in large numbers and combines well with other basic bricks. Younger children in particular benefit from not having to choose between many different shapes.
Red, yellow, blue and bright green
The colours are bold and unambiguous: red, yellow, blue and a vivid green. For use in learning groups that makes sense, as the colours are easy to name, sort and count. When building, a cheerful mix appears quickly and looks good even without a plan. The exact number per colour is in the parts list below. It also helps if you buy the pack second-hand and want to check that it is complete. With the three primaries plus green you can also lay out simple patterns, rows and counting games.
Using the parts afterwards
The set dates from 2008 and is no longer sold in shops. If you own it, the “What can I build?” tool can tell you whether the pieces, together with other sets, make further models. That mostly applies to collections with matching basic bricks. As an addition to an existing collection the pack is a good fit, since it brings large quantities of standard parts in clear colours. That helps, because sets with so few element types rarely need anything added.
