Fire. Water. Each of the four elements is represented in this innovative building set. More like waves or organic forms than traditional geometric blocks these distinctive building shapes create mountain ranges swirling oceans alien landscapes winding highways futuristic skylines and a gallery of sculptures. These beautifully colored shapes are eco-friendly in materials as well as longevity. This is in our opinion an heirloom toy. ©2011 Parents' Choice
