Free to reserve. Pay when you collect, and we hold it for 3 days.

No glue, no connectors, no instructions. Every plank is the same size, which turns building into an exercise in balance, gravity and patience.

Children start with fences and towers and move on to arches, spiral staircases and buildings taller than themselves. Adults have been known to join in.

What it helps practise

  • Engineering and balance
  • Planning and patience
