This colourful plastic construction set contains 144 tower shaped pieces. Some single tower pieces and some doubles where two tower pieces are stuck side by side. The blocks interlink and stack to build towers, patterns, castles and other sturdy structures. You could even use the range of colours to make colour patterns or sort by colour. The construction set comes in a plastic box with a lid and includes a picture sheet for inspiration.
