Mental Blox

The Mental Blox game is a fun and engaging way for young children to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills through hands-on play. With 20 chunky plastic blocks in various shapes, colours, and patterns, children can stack, match, and recreate designs using the included activity cards-or take turns giving and following verbal instructions to build specific structures. This interactive learning experience supports both independent and collaborative learning in early years and primary classrooms.

Each block features one of four different shapes with three distinct attributes, providing a true challenge for young minds. Ideal for visual and tactile learners, Mental Blox encourages children to think creatively, reason logically, and practise expressive language in a structured yet playful setting.
