Our RX4 Roads & Planks Wooden Block Booster Kit 4 includes pieces that address what we feel to be an expensive oversight: Half-thickness Unit Block Planks are completely missing in standard Introductory, Preschool, and Quarter Classroom Sets of Standard Unit Blocks. This is not a stand-alone set. Many commercially available sets completely omit them for simplicity’s sake and to pad the cost of providing enough roof, floor, and road Unit Blocks for young builders. Most advertise there products with photos of kids using more expensive full-thickness unit blocks for roads, roofs, and bridges. Other companies sell non-standard thickness fibreboard floor and roof boards. A non-standard thickness building board is fine as a tray or mat, but integrating the same material for floor and roof contruction makes causes either the child to be limited to an 5.5 x 11 or 11 x 22 fibreboard roof or causes wobbly, uneven construction, out of sync with basic educational philosophies of inventor Caroline Pratt. How can you do more with less? Add this set or other half-thickness Unit Block Planks instead of adding full-thickness Unit Blocks for roads, roofs, and floors. Designed to fill in the “missing” and high-demand pieces in a standard unit block classroom or home set. Safe for ages 6 months and up. Completely free of borates, pesticides, and fungicides commonly added to rubberwood after harvest. We use only 100% Hard Rock Maple. Manufactured on demand in the United States from Custom Milled Domestic FSC-Certified Hard Rock Maple when your order is received. Accurately cut to within 1/100 of an inch.
