This Table Top Notch Blocks – Eastern Set is a wonderful open-ended resource that allows children to make their own customised constructions using their imaginations and the pieces provided. This set includes 87 pieces that connect together to create buildings, stairs, seats, bridges, walls and a number of other structures the children create.
 
This set is inspired by the hugely popular Notch Blocks Outdoor Construction Set (GC6110) by giving the children a smaller indoor version that they can construct in the classroom or play area. This allows them to apply what they learn using the different Notch Blocks set to the larger and smaller sets.
 
This Eastern set is great for learning about Eastern culture and history and helps the children visualise what is being taught in a fun and hands on way. This also shows them the differences and similarities between east and west construction methods and themes. The set comes with a cardboard box that allows the set to be easily packed away at the end of each day or the constructions can be left out as great display pieces encouraging the children to continue the building and reminding them of what they have learned so far with the set.
 
This Table Top Notch Blocks – Eastern Set is a fantastic STEM resource. It encourages and develops the problem solving, perseverance and creative thinking that are integral to STEM.

Children are able to explore each of the concepts in a fun and hands on way while learning how they relate to things in the world around them.
