Building everything from one shape
Plus-Plus works on a simple idea: one shape, repeated. Every piece is the same plus-shaped form and each one interlocks with the next, so there are no special parts to lose and no model that can only be built one way. This set gives you 100 pieces and instructions for a truck as the first project, and it sits happily among our building sets for children who like to make things.
What the hands are learning
Pressing pieces together asks for a controlled pinch and a firm, steady push. That is the same pincer grip a child relies on when holding a pencil, and it gets stronger with every row built. Following the instructions adds a second skill: reading a plan, matching it to the pieces in their hands, and sticking with a slow build until the shape appears.
From first truck to their own designs
Because every piece is identical, a finished model is never a dead end. It comes apart, and the same 100 pieces become a flat mosaic or a 3D build of their own design. This is where creative problem-solving begins: a child decides what the model needs, tests it, and rebuilds when it doesn't hold. A first build might take a focused afternoon at 5, while a 7 or 8 year old plans mosaics and 3D models before they start. One hundred pieces is a focused starter, and it is built to grow. Add any other Plus-Plus set and everything interlocks, and children who get hooked can step up to the Plus-Plus Basic 600 pcs set for bigger models. Play is quiet table-top building, so it suits a rainy-day afternoon or a shared lounge room. Small parts: not suitable for children under 3 years.
