Arches and Tunnels

Take construction play up a notch (and around a bend) with this open-ended set of Arches and Tunnels. These beautifully curved blocks add an exciting twist to block play, literally. Whether it's a bridge for a convoy of diggers, a tunnel for an escaped guinea pig, or the grand entrance to a cardboard box castle, this versatile set brings big ideas to life. With 10 pieces in total, this resource is just the thing for encouraging creative thinking, problem-solving and a bit of healthy trial and error. Stack them. Balance them. Watch them wobble. Rebuild. Repeat. The beauty of these shapes is that they work brilliantly on their own or alongside your unit blocks for extra wow factor. Perfect for indoor construction areas and early years learning environments, these blocks invite all sorts of imaginative play, while quietly supporting spatial reasoning, motor skills and teamwork. No screens. No beeping. No tiny parts to lose down the radiator. Just simple, engaging play that gives little builders big learning opportunities. Features Set of 10 pieces: Just the right number to start building a mini metropolis or the worlds fanciest marble run. Smooth, tactile finish: Easy for little hands to grasp, stack and wobble (intentional or not), with no sharp corners to get in the way of imaginative play. Open-ended, versatile shapes: Each piece is designed to stand alone or slot into your existing construction sets, adding that architectural flair your block corner has been crying out for. Chunky, durable design: Built to survive the trials of EYFS life: whether it's dramatic play, dramatic collapses or dramatic toddlers. Neutral, natural colours: A calming alternative to the usual rainbow riot, perfect for promoting focus and reducing visual overload in busy settings. Benefits Encourages spatial awareness: Children learn about balance, shape, and positioning through hands-on exploration (and the occasional topple). Boosts problem-solving skills: Every wobbly tower is a chance to ask "what if?" and try again: hello, early engineering. Supports imaginative thinking: Bridges, tunnels, rollercoasters, castles: each play session is a story waiting to unfold. Develops fine and gross motor skills: Lifting, aligning, balancing and rebuilding all support physical coordination and control. Promotes collaboration and language: A great way to spark teamwork and communication in construction play, especially in group or paired activities.
