A piece of Plus-Plus is no more than two pluses joined together, and yet you can build a dog, a lighthouse or a portrait of grandma with it. The Plus-Plus Learn to Build Basic Super Set Building Blocks is the big box to master that: a step-by-step building book, building plates to build on and 1200 bricks to get started with. You start with flat mosaics, a bit like iron-on beads but without an iron, and then move on to animals, people and buildings in 3D.
What makes this Plus-Plus starter set so generous is the colors. In addition to 700 pieces in ten basic colors, there are 300 neon pieces, and 50 each in gold, silver, skin color and glow in the dark. Enough to build with two at the same time or to work on one big project for a whole weekend. Meanwhile, this Danish construction toy practices fine motor skills, spatial awareness and patience, but you don't have to tell your child that: they are simply busy with a unicorn that glows in the dark.
