Bristle Block Spinners

Bristle Block Spinners: Parents, ages 2-6, average retail $34.99, 57-piece set.

Bristle Blocks have long been a mainstay in every well equipped early childhood classroom and with good reason. These handy dandy blocks provide an excellent, frustration free, independent building experience for little ones. Perfectly sized for small hands, they easily stick together and pull apart. Sturdy, stable, and easy to use as well as enhancing hand-eye coordination, small motor skills, and mathematical thinking make them an ultimate building tool for preschoolers.

Bristle Blocks Spinners is an action-packed 57-piece building set filled with colorful, easy-to-connect blocks as well as wheels, axles and quirky character faces to make creations come alive!

We thought the Bristle Block Spinners were pretty cool. This is an excellent supplemental set that opened up a whole new land of creative possibilities and problem solving.

We would recommend adding this set of blocks to complement the ones you already have, since on its own the set is limited. It would be fine for younger toddlers but older, more adventurous preschoolers might run out of building options.

The blocks come in a large bucket. Although it is a nice big bucket, we did not see the point. It is not big enough to hold all the blocks and has no lid, so from a cleanup point of view it seems, well, silly. A large bin with a lid that can accommodate all the blocks plus a few more would be a much better option.

If you have a bristle block fan or are considering buying them for your youngster then this is a nice addition to Bristle Block fun. We don't believe you should limit the fun to age 6, since older kids enjoy them, too.
