Artifact Overview
Children love to build things--whether they create imaginative worlds or smaller versions of the real one. Construction toys are quite literally and figuratively "the building blocks of childhood." Playing with them builds physical and intellectual skills--and encourages creativity. Children could build realistic-looking stone buildings with this American-made set of composite blocks.
