Tinkering Blocks - 30 Piece Set

With our Tinkering Blocks, creativity meets construction as this is where your budding architects and engineers (aged 5 years+) can bolt, screw, and build their wildest ideas! These wooden blocks are the perfect addition to your tinkering area, ideal for enhancing manual dexterity, fine motor skills, and a bit of problem-solving on the side. Whether learners are crafting a mini cart with bolt-friendly wheels, constructing towers or even piecing together their very own tinkering letters, these blocks are an endless source of inspiration.

Designed for versatility, each block is pre-drilled with varying hole sizes to offer an extra layer of challenge. After all, where’s the fun in everything being too easy, right? Learners will love the mix-and-match aspect, trying different screws to figure out what fits where. The blocks are sturdy and reliable, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. 

The possibilities are endless! From towers to tables, platforms for small world play, and even mini carts that can be wheeled around (thanks to those bolt-friendly wheels), this tinkering set opens up a world of imaginative play. Plus, when the day is done, pop them neatly into your tinkering crate storage and give yourself a pat on the back for keeping everything organised (because let’s face it, organisation is half the battle). These blocks are a great way to introduce children to construction without needing a full-blown construction site in the classroom. Whether in your indoor playroom or outdoor classroom, these blocks will spark creativity and get those fine motor skills fine-tuned in no time!

Perfect for EYFS settings, these blocks are recommended for ages 5 years and up and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor construction play. Let the creativity (and maybe some friendly competition) flow as learners build and tinker away, honing their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities in the process.

Whether you're nurturing future engineers or just looking to add a bit of construction-themed fun to your playroom or outdoor space, ourTinkering Blocks are the perfect choice for your EYFS setting. They’ll build, they’ll create, and they might even clean up after themselves (no promises on that last one).
