There are blocks and there are blocks and there are blocks - and there are none more fun than these. Why? Because they're jumbo-sized, of course! If they have enough of them, kids can build towers that are taller than they are! They are light enough, yet sturdy enough to serve almost any building purpose, and the bold colors are inspiring too.

This toy is so cool (there's no better word) that is has acquired an almost cult-like following not just among kids but also among grown-up artists and designers. The set includes 350 brightly colored shapes that stick when pressed to the black shiny surfaces in this spiral bound book, and can be rearranged in different patterns and images to your little one's heart's content. Your young designer can compose images ...
