Inspire little builders to construct and create with ECR4Kids Wooden Tunnels and Arches. From simple tunnels to elaborate city spaces, students employ problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they stack and build with increasing complexity. Open-ended play supports imagination, creativity, and helps develop independence as children design ramps, racetracks, and towers in countless arrangements. Use individually or pair up for teamwork, collaboration, and cooperative learning. The use of building toys introduces early math concepts including height, measurement, and balance to your child during playtime. Children can also explore the ability to create shapes with the curved blocks like flowers or circles on the ground. Learning shapes and sizes of the arches can help your kids distinguish between objects and grasp spatial reasoning. Enhance block play by combining multiple sets or pair with ECR4Kids Hollow Wooden Blocks, sold separately. Constructed from sustainably harvested birch plywood with a durable finish sealing the wood surface and resisting scratching. A UV inhibitor helps blocks resist ultraviolet light and yellowing. Natural birch plywood is extremely durable and will hold up to everyday use in daycares and preschools, and early childhood environments.

Great quality open ended blocks!

Good when comparing materials and prices
These are nice! A couple have some separation on the edges which is a bummer and why I downgraded a bit. Nice size, though, nice finish. For the price, they’re worth it when comparing with similar materials. I’d buy them again despite the separation/splitting.

These are great!
My preschool kiddos love these! They are a great addition to our building center.We received these as a gift and one of the tunnels was defective. Called customer service to exchange, very easy and quick process.

Great Quality. I was on the fence about buying …
Great Quality. I was on the fence about buying these. I thought, “How many more building tools can my kids use?” I took the plunge and purchased anyway. It amazes me the things they can come up with. Never underestimate the creativity of a child. They’ve shown some mad engineering skills with these.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
I just received this and didn’t even finish unpacking it. Once I saw how the entire package was covered in suuuuuper fine hairs of what I can only recall even seeing on tv as looking like asbestos fibers I immediately stopped and closed the package as carefully as possible. It may not be asbestos, but the humongous amounts of super fine hair particles (of something) would do extremely harm to anyone health because there are many and super light so they would get into the air and be breathed in. BEWARE! This is supossed to be a kids to toy. No way! I have ordered from this company before, but something went wrong with the packaging with this one. You may think, “Well I may not get the same problem.” Don’t even think its worth it! I am not exaggerating how bad it was. There was no scenario where I could clean that off without stirring up tons into the air. I couldn’t even take a picture because of how dangerous the situation felt to me I just carefully put the piece I had taken out back in slowly and taped it right up and washed my hands throughly. By the way, the item is made in China which is not surprising.

Cracked wood
Love the open ended play options. Wood is split on several pieces and seems warped on others. Iâm not impressed with the quality.

Creative play staple in our house
These are awesome! Weâve had them for a couple years now and my kids continue to find interesting new ways to play with them… which is why exactly we bought them! From making tunnels for cars and balls to creating a natural history museum (pictured) and obstacle courses, these are a great open ended toy that adds so much dimension and imagination to play! And theyâre not THAT hard to store ð
