Tricky Blocks - 25 pieces

The Tricky Blocks - Pack of 25 by Erzi is a delightfully challenging and open-ended stacking game designed to encourage critical thinking, collaboration and fine motor control in children aged 3+ years. Made from sustainably sourced FSC-certified timber, this eco-conscious set includes uniquely angled blocks that are just unstable enough to make stacking a thrilling test of skill and strategy.

Perfect for 2 to 6 players, the set features 6 coloured blocks, 12 small wobble blocks, 6 large wobble blocks, and 1 die to guide gameplay. The object? Build the tallest tower using the curved and crooked pieces-without toppling the structure! Children will learn through trial and error how weight, balance and shape interact as they compete, collaborate or build freely with this creative construction set.

The Tricky Blocks also double as an open-ended building resource, allowing children to explore architectural creativity outside of game play. The playful irregular shapes invite imaginative structures, visual storytelling, and physical experimentation-making this set a valuable addition to any early years classroom or STEM learning area.
