The world’s been caught up in a new space race ever since NASA’s successful 10-day Artemis II moon mission back in April. If your little one’s caught the cosmic bug, Melissa & Doug have the perfect toy for them: our Blockables Space Play Set!
This space craze has reached such a fever pitch, we had to fire up the Toy Spotlight blog and shine it directly on our Blockables Space Play Set, an outer space-themed wooden and mixed material construction toy specially designed to help little hands develop crucial fine motor skills while exploring their imaginations through purposeful play.
Scroll on to get all the playful details on what makes our Blockables Space Play Set such a hit when it comes to hands-on, kid-powered play that helps them develop important skills.
Why Kids Will Love This Cosmic Construction Toy
Playful Details: Build out-of-this-world adventures with this connectable wooden block set. Using 38 mixed-material pieces and special patent-pending connectors, kids can easily snap together blocks to create a lunar rover with working wheels, a rocket ship, and a space station. Two included astronaut figures are ready to pilot the vehicles and explore the cosmos.
Age: 2+
Skills at Play: Blockables encourage fine motor skills through building, problem-solving through construction, and storytelling through pretend play, helping to boost confidence and self-esteem. A variety of mixed-material pieces are included for a rich sensory experience, combining smooth wooden blocks, soft felt, and durable plastic connectors, wheels, and molded parts.
