Plus-Plus Big Learn and Explore Review

Have you heard of Plus-Plus?  I want to share with you a fun part of Timberdoodle's Preschool Curriculum Kit, Plus-Plus Big Learn and Explore.  You may remember our review on the Plus-Plus Mini Maker Tube Turkey a few years ago.  Just like their mini counterparts, the Plus-Plus Big pieces all have the same, identical shape.  They have a slightly "rubbery" texture and the pieces slide together smoothly with very little pressure while also coming apart without much effort.  The trick is that they stay together when locked!  You can build in any direction so your creations can be flat or 3D

What's included in our set?  There are 90 colorful Plus-Plus Big pieces, a green baseplate and a guidebook with build ideas.

 

One side of each piece has the words Plus Plus on it, while the other side does not.  I love the variety of colors in our set.

Plus-Plus sets originate from Denmark and are available in two different sizes as I previously mentioned - the Plus-Plus Mini (suited for children ages 5 and older) and the Plus-Plus Big (safer for younger children ages 1 and older).  Timberdoodle has both Plus-Plus Big sets and Plus-Plus Mini sets.  I personally think it's awesome to have both because you can build more things of various sizes.

F and G were both excited to build with this set!

 

Using the guidebook, kids can follow the easy directions to create a number of different builds including a house, a fidget spinner, a rainbow, a person, etc.

 I love this one!

Plus-Plus pieces are great for hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.  They can use the guidebook to create specific builds or they can build their own creations.  The boys like to do both!

 

F built a knight for his castle.

G's creation!

The boys built a big fidget spinner and a mini fidget spinner using both sizes of our Plus-Plus pieces.

F's robot turned out pretty cool too.

There are literally endless possibilities when it comes to these pieces and kids will have so much fun constructing their creations.  Plus-Plus Big Learn and Explore is currently included in Timberdoodle's Preschool Curriculum Kit and it is such a fun item for younger kids!
