ThinkPlay Preschool
ThinkPlay Preschool gives young builders a successful first experience with construction play. Designed for children as young as 30 months, this award-winning set combines chunky building pieces, simple engineering concepts, and step-by-step models that grow alongside your child's abilities.
The colorful cubes and prisms feature connection points on multiple sides, allowing your child to build in different directions and create more interesting structures than traditional stacking blocks allow. Wheels and axles add another layer of fun, transforming simple builds into vehicles and moving creations.
A spiral-bound instruction guide introduces projects in a carefully planned progression. Your child might begin with simple flowers or basic vehicles and gradually advance to animals, robots, trains, and more complex constructions. As the models become more challenging, observation skills, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving abilities grow right alongside them.
Unlike many preschool building sets that encourage only free play, ThinkPlay Preschool provides guided building experiences that help young children learn how to follow visual instructions, identify shapes, and assemble multi-step projects. At the same time, the open-ended pieces invite plenty of creative experimentation.
Compatible with both ThinkPlay construction sets and Duplo® bricks, the system can continue growing as your child's building skills expand. The included storage tub keeps all the pieces organized and ready for the next building session.
Many preschoolers begin by simply connecting pieces together. Before long, they're following instructions, creating recognizable models, and developing the confidence to design structures of their own. ThinkPlay Preschool helps bridge that gap, turning early construction play into the foundation for future engineering thinking.

Encourages Imagination

My younger children (ages 3. 5, and 9) all enjoy playing and building with this set. The booklet is easy to follow along with to build.

Long lasting fun
Sara W.
Not only fun but a learning tool. We have 3 kids now that have gotten a lot out of them and we have more than one set. Spans a lot of ages. Sometimes the kids just build things on their own now for fun.

Get This
Dorothy W.
My 3 year old is fascinated by his older brother playing with legos but is too young and doesn't have the dexterity or motor skills to handle tiny little lego pieces. Hello ThinkPlay! The blocks are chunky yet well made, the stick together easily but are not too difficult to get apart either and the colors are V-i-v-i-d. Now he can do his own building projects alongside his brother without having a meltdown because his brother (understandably) doesn't want his lego projects messed up or lost. Winner!

fun building

We love doing these activities with our littles. The directions are easy to use. We like to get the pieces beforehand to help our 3 year old to build, otherwise he gets too overwhelmed by all the pieces. Our 5 year old is able to get all the pieces himself to build and follow the directions.

Durable and versatile bricks
Maria P.
These bricks initially seemed harder to use than duplos for my 3yo, but with use they became a favorite. Now they are made into elaborate targets or bowling pins, creatures to crash into each other, etc. Highly durable product, both for learning and fun!

Great toy!

ThinkPlay Preschool blocks have been a hit! My kids love making things, and the booklet is a fun added bonus. Well made, and a tub to keep them in. Great, brain building toy!

Super fun
Aerie B.
This is great fun for the kids. The blocks are a good size for the younger ones and not too hard to use. They can build a lot of the models alone and have fun for house. Great for playing with friends and helpful for learning too.

A little hit or miss
Nicole G.
When we first got these, my son got very frustrated. It was very hard to put the pieces together with his limited hand strength. However, this had turned out to be a blessing because he can build much bigger without everything toppling like they do with his duplos. We’re still working on using the booklet and getting him to understand how to follow a schematic to build a given model, but we’re getting there. Once we do, we’ll move on to the next set of blocks.

loved by both kids
Elizabeth J.
My kids seem to love these just as much or even more than traditional legos. I love that I can set out an easier exercise for my 3 year old and a more challenging one for my 6 year old. This hands on activity has created some fun learning and peace in our homeschool room!

Absolutely fabulous
Pianjo G.
I was surprised at how wonderful this is for young kids.The large life size pictures are wonderful because it helps kids start to build independently. I was shocked at how much they could do! It is a very great tool for creative thinking.
