 Brick Construction Set
Each tiny brick in this high-quality original European set is crafted with remarkable precision-no wonder kids love building (& rebuilding) realistic-looking miniatures with them. In addition to the satisfaction of creating something with their hands, kids practice following directions using one of five design plans; or they can exercise their architectural leanings with a brick dwelling of their own design. Comes with safe, nontoxic dry mortar that mixes with water and then dissolves to reuse bricks. 550+ bricks, plastic windows and doors, 2 heavy wooden baseboards, mixing bowl, metal trowel. BUY |

Easy-to-follow directions plus a design manual and science booklet let discoveries begin almost immediately, with 108 interlocking parts that assemble into more than 100 different land and water projects.

 Indoor Sand Village
Better than any average outdoor sandbox, this specially designed set uses 5 lbs. of the same wax-coated sand that older kids use to sculpt in our DeltaSand Set (page 38/39). As a result, your little ones’ creations stick together easily, minimizing frustration and letting them create roads, tunnels, hills and valleys to their hearts content, all within a tall-sided box that checks messy spills. Includes two wood houses, three trees and a car. 4"H x 15"W x 15"D. Ages 4 to adult BUY

 Skyrail Suspension Marble Run
Our huge marble run is over 5 feet wide and 3 feet tall, with adjustable suspension cables to easily raise or lower the tracks. Kids have to reason and experiment to construct a system that safely delivers the marbles to the bottom; after that, the challenge lies in building speed to the eye-boggling max! 300 pieces, including 12 marbles and 40 feet of glow-in- the-dark track.
