This set of Bristle Block Large Stars comes with a total of 60 pieces and in a variety of different colours. Each set comes in a handy storage tub with plastic clips to lock down the lid. This makes keeping the pieces together for storage easy and also prevents small children from accessing the pieces without supervision.
 
Each of the bristle blocks connect to one another by inserting the slots into one another on the sides. These can be pushed directly into the side or they can come from the side giving the children more construction possibilities making each of their creations unique to them. The possibilities are endless and these allow the children to try new designs over and over learning what works and what doesn’t as they progress. Each of the pieces come in bright vibrant colours which make the pieces easy to see and encourage the children to engage these in play. These are great for working on their gross motor development and their cognitive development. The pieces can also be used by educators for sorting and colour matching exercises and games.
 
The plastic pieces are comfortable for the children to handle and they are also easy to clean to prevent the spread of germs. Being plastic means they can also take a lot of wear and tear while still maintaining their shape and functionality. Each of the pieces come in a variety of different colours for the children to experiment with and learn about.
