PlanToys Cityscape Blocks

Get under the bright city light and build your urban playground with the PlanToys Cityscape Blocks. These city-inspired blocks encourage children to explore their imagination as they build a city filled with tall towers, quirky buildings and busy streets. As they design skylines and urban environments, children develop social and language skills while learning about urban life and understanding the characteristics of a city with its diverse buildings and structures. Great as a stand-alone set or in addition to vehicles and figures for open-ended creative play, this set is compatible with PlanWorld and unit block sets, allowing the city to grow and connect with other play worlds. Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, formaldehyde-free glue, organic pigments and water-based dyes, this beautiful, hard-wearing resource supports meaningful play in both early learning settings and home environments.

Educational benefits

• Develops social and language skills as children talk about city life, buildings, roles and everyday experiences.
• Builds spatial awareness and early maths concepts as children stack, balance and arrange blocks to create skylines.
• Encourages creativity and problem solving while designing streets, neighbourhoods and shared urban spaces.
• Supports understanding of communities and environments as children compare city features with other places they know.

Classroom & play activity ideas

• Invite children to design and build a shared city, naming streets and landmarks, then give "tours"  to classmates.
• Combine the Cityscape Blocks with vehicles and figures to create role-play scenes such as shops, parks and transport hubs.
• Use photos of real cityscapes as inspiration and encourage children to recreate or reinterpret them with the blocks.
• Connect the set with PlanWorld and unit blocks to design a larger map, linking city areas with rural or coastal scenes.
