| "BLIK BLOK" Game Description:
Can you BUILD what you SEE?
BLIK BLOK will challenge your inner architect or engineer! Build with the 29 wooden architectural blocks to match the illustrated designs. Use spatial reasoning and visual thinking skills to recreate the three-dimentional images on the cards.
One hundred (100) architect-created challenges to boost visual thinking skills!
BLIK BLOK has 100 design cards of varying difficulty. Each design card shows a "3-D" representation of the final object and the blocks needed to create it. From Beginner to Expert, these architect-created models will reinforce and build those visual skills by pushing to higher and higher levels!
And of course, what "architect" wouldn't also want to build their own models with these high quality wooden blocks?

A NOTE FROM LAURI:
Not everything is as it seems. Kids are matching from a 2D, computer aided drafting (CAD) design. But they have to use 3D objects to build what that CAD design represents. It won't always be obvious and will involve trial and error. At higher levels, they will have to remember what they learned earlier to make things work.
High quality building pieces and CAD designs created by architects. The natural wooden blocks are simple and high quality. They will stand the test of time, and fancy colors or styles won't detract from the architectural challenge. The challenges start off ambitious and move up to demanding. This game will keep everyone interested and challenged.
The 29 building pieces include 13 different shapes with multiples of some shapes. For each illustration, you are shown which pieces you should use and how many. Sometimes its hard to tell which triangle, for example, is indicated. For help with this, refer to "The Blocks" page of the instructions. Each type of triangle is pictured slightly differently, and that same representation is used on the cards.
Visual spatial learners will love it. Each BLIK BLOK puzzle is completely visual - you see the picture to build and a picture of what pieces and how many you should use. Since the majority of the population are visual spatial learners, this is a product that is great for all kids, and especially great for kids who need activities that are not dependent upon language. Kids as young as 5 who enjoy puzzles and building can enjoy this game, as can adults, gifted kids, and those with special learning needs. Another great educational toy by Mindware! |
