‘Building Site’ Velcro game with cards

About the game

Work is in full swing on the building site: the machinery is ready for action, the builders are waiting for their positions, and the materials need to be arranged correctly. Will you be able to recreate the whole scene from the card?

‘Construction Site’ is a wooden Velcro game featuring models of machinery, workers and building materials. The child places the pieces on the playing board according to the diagram cards: coloured images, silhouettes or outlines. The different ways in which the tasks are presented allow you to test your child’s attention to detail in a new way every time.

Every correctly assembled diagram is another finished building site under the supervision of a little builder.
