Provide exciting and educational activities for your early learning or home environment with this set of ECR4Kids Totally Tubular Pipes and Spout Math Manipulatives. This 160-piece set helps little ones develop hand-eye coordination, spatial thinking, and creative problem-solving skills. Math manipulatives help children learn math skills while sorting, counting, designing, and constructing. The set includes pipes that are straight and round with two, three, or four ends. Create a pattern or sequence by combining a straight piece with a curved piece again and again until you make a square. Design pipelines or 3-D animals in a mix of blue, green, yellow and red. This manipulative set comes in a durable clear plastic bin with lid and a convenient handle to move from room to room. Intended for children ages 3 and older. With a concentration on the Pre K-12 sector, ECR4Kids offers a wide range of products from tables, chairs and desks to cots, mats and a variety of storage cases in solid wood as well as scratch resistant double-sided laminate.
Pleasantly surprising This is one of those toys that kind of surprises you when the kids are really into it. I ordered it for my 2.5 year old for xmas, and the 8 & 9 year old dove right into the bin as well. They all made crazy contraptions for hours, and still do whenever they get brought out. I try to throw in more toys that require them actually imagining and figuring out how to piece things together so they aren’t glued to their devices all the time, and this fits the bill. But, seriously, they’re plastic tubes…
Sturdy, Versatile Toy My nephew was turning 5. He would make paths out of pillows and play “house” in boxes, so I figured these were a good next step… and they are perfect! At first he built long sticks, then long hooks, and now windows and space ships! (Or so he calls them). Too big and sturdy for his little brother to chew to pieces, or be squished by little footsteps and butts. If he “sword fights” with them, they get loose and uncouple, but do not break apart on impact. This may be even more popular than his…
Great toys, great value, but you can’t put water through the pipes My son loves playing with them, and so do I! Just be aware, if you’re like me and have ideas of playing with these with water, that the pipes are not open all the way through, so passing water or marbles or anything like that through your structure wouldn’t work. I also got 160 pieces, which is enough that two or even three kids could probably play side by side happily.
