Coloured Blocks

For the boy who loves playing with ice AND playing with Lego, I found the perfect present.

A Lego iceblock mould. Sadly, you can't build with them, they are flat on the underside.

In other coloured blocks news, the boys have been having fun with the Cuisenaire Rods.

Actually, not just the boys.

    I bet the boys love it when their parents start playing with their toys, too! Cool play stuff you've found.

    There is a painting at the NSW Art Gallery just like that Cuisenaire one. You lot are headed for fame.

    I got the cake mould version. Made a six year old boy EXTREMELY happy during his birthday party.

    I love the lego moulds! My brother would love them! Cuisenaire rods are just great - I had them when I was in primary school - a great way to learn and obviously making great art too ;o)

    Love the lego ice bricks, but more than that I love those cheeky faces.

    OMG - I want those iceblock moulds !!

    And Cuisinaire rods - I was actually pondering if I would ever come across those again/if they still made them/used them in schools. I never knew what they were called though, just remembered you called them by their 'unit' value ( I think ?! )

    Top Finds and/or Buys! Awesome !

    ( off to google :)
