Product code: EY06048 Make a winter wonderland scene with these transparent, shiny bricks. Children will love stacking these bricks to make houses, towers, castles, or even an igloo. Imagine building with these bricks in real or pretend snow. Light weight to use, these bricks are a fantastic addition to your construction area. A lovely alternative to regular building blocks. This is a really engaging, appealing construction resource. Here are some ways the children might use it. Children will use the bricks as part of their building play. The bricks have uneven sides so there is quite a challenge in order to get them to stack. Try incorporating other bricks eg. the Ice Bricks or the Glow Construction Bricks to see if they can build a wintery wall/tower etc. Make a wintery den by using the bricks to make a mini enclosed area. Have fabrics nearby to create costumes and to accessorise the den. Use in small world scenarios. Place them on an arctic landscape. Include snow (real or magic) glitter, real ice cubes, animals etc. for a magical scene.
Use with torches. Use coloured lenses and see if the light will shine through the bricks. Use on lightboxes to create different effects, including mini locations. Incorporate other transparent items. Use as part of shadow play activities. Many settings use an overhead projector to throw shadows on to the wall. The bricks and other materials can help create an interesting effect. The bricks make a lovely Christmas themed learning location.
