Little architects can’t wait to grab their blueprints and get building! Packed with 50 smooth wooden blocks, our center challenges children to re-create 20 different designs using blueprints to help guide their building. Each blueprint features a footprint of the structure that kids can build right on top of—plus illustrations that show the design from 3 different angles…so children get lots of practice with spatial reasoning, building 3-D structures, early STEM skills and more! Center includes 10 double-sided, laminated 13" x 13" blueprints at 3 levels.
Set includes 50 blocks in 5 shapes; rectangular prisms measure 2 1/2"l x 1 1/4"w x 1 1/4"h.

My kindergarten students had a great time using these to solve the puzzles, and add them to their other block designs.

Perfect for a wide range of abilities
March 03, 2023 - By Chrisfrom Romeo, MI
I love that this set has 3 levels of difficulty. My 4-5 year olds start at the easiest level and ask for harder! This is a great activity with a small group, but I highly recommend purchasing additional blocks. Otherwise, you can only have two students at one time.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Building with a blueprint
February 22, 2023 - By Dede Bollingfrom Florida
I love the skills in following a blue print to build. This kit coincides with my curriculum, and my students like to pretend to be engineers and construction workers.

Building Toy with a Purpose
January 03, 2023 - By Lisa A Steinerfrom Pasadena
I am pleased that this product has various degrees of difficulty, since some of my students have stronger spatial skills than others. Everyone can have a hand in this.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for spatial reasoning
November 28, 2022 - By Elizabeth
My 8 year old found this very engaging and could work independently. May need some assistance in young grades, but would be a great small group STEM activity.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Meh
July 30, 2022 - By Nelda McAllister
My kids just play with the wooden blocks but not the ideas laid out on the papers. I feel like I paid a bunch if $$ for about 40 wooden blocks.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Early Learning STEM Support
August 26, 2019 - By Block Blueprintsfrom Jacksonville, FL
It is used as an introduction to architecture and building structures. It also encourages conversations about how buildings are designed. Also exposures young children to careers related to designing and planning, and creating structures.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Engaging and challenging STEM manipulative
June 11, 2019 - By Damon Ridgwayfrom San Juan Capistrano, CA
I have two sets of these blocks and I use them with a small group. My students love to work together to figure out how the blocks should appear in the blueprint design, and these blocks also inspire new creations with other manipulatives. I would suggest that you mark the blocks with a shape in order to keep the sets separate and easy to get the complete set back together. I highly recommend them!
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Blocks & Blueprints
November 26, 2017 - By Rozefrom Calistoga, CA
This set of blocks is igreat for developing spatial awareness skills, and in learning to think in 3-D.
I do recommend an adult “partner” w/the child. I have used this w/our almost 6 year old grandson, and he seems to really enjoy building the designs on the laminated pattern cards.
