Mulamba Blocks: Wood 12pc
For decades researchers have been aware of the extraordinary development of a child’s brain during the first five years of life. Recent advances in neuroscience have helped crystallize earlier findings, bringing new clarity and understanding to the field of early childhood brain development.
Children are born ready to learn. They cultivate 85 percent of their intellect, personality and skills by age five. The first months and years of life set the stage for lifelong development.
In light of this, we are delighted to introduce you to the wonderful world of Mulamba Blocks, available in 3 set options: The Wooden 12pc set, the Plastic 12pc set and the abundant 96pc Classroom set.

How to use Mulamba Blocks:
♦ Start with the easy puzzles. You will see that children who are accustomed to puzzle building will master this phase quite easily.♦ Once a child can easily rebuild the first phase puzzles, progress to the intermediate puzzle building. ♦ During this phase you can challenge kids to start building outside the “boundaries” of the box. ♦ Once children have mastered the intermediate puzzles they can move over to building the advanced puzzles. ♦ Puzzles are regularly updated and expanded to keep the game alive and ongoing all the time!
