Janod 60 block City Set + puzzle
(Janod $42)
For future city planners and architects, here’s a clever 2-in-1 construction set with a 20-piece street map puzzle that has to be put together and serves as a base to build on. Kids can build a city of skyscrapers or a utopian city of their dreams. Buildings do need to fit into the grid and there are roadways and train tracks for vehicles to travel. The sixty- piece set includes small cars, trucks, and blocks that are solid wood and painted with water based paints. It’s a truly open-ended toy with no themes or agendas, so it can become whatever your child imagines. Note: many of the pieces are very small, so this is not a toy for preschooler who still mouth their toys.
