Building blocks of famous monuments, perfect for sparking creativity and learning in children aged 8 and over. Mosques, minarets and palaces.
These building blocks represent iconic monuments of the Middle East and the Maghreb, perfect for discovering these regions while playing. You can rebuild the Al-Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca, the largest mosque in the world. It is famous for its Kaaba, a black cube that is very important to Muslims.
We also offer a model of the minaret of the Mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia, a symbol of the Maghreb. Its unique shape and its details make for a real building challenge. The blocks bring out the small patterns and the arches so that you can really understand its Islamic architecture and its historical features.
The Qaitbay Citadel in Egypt is another monument represented. It is a fortress built near the Mediterranean Sea to protect the city of Alexandria. With these reconstructed brick blocks, you can see its thick ramparts and its defence towers.
Each set lets you learn how these monuments were made with precise shapes, while developing your fine motor skills and your creativity. Building these monuments helps you understand their history and their cultural importance in a playful and original way, by exploring the oriental architectural heritage.
Building block kits for oriental world monuments are mainly suitable for children aged 8 and over. This minimum age ensures that your child already has the patience and the concentration needed to assemble the many pieces. Each kit offers a level of difficulty suited to older children and to beginners in building, without being too complicated.
By choosing a kit for a child of 8 or older, you give them a stimulating challenge that develops their fine motor skills and their logic. For younger children, these blocks may contain pieces that are too small and present a choking hazard. We therefore put safety first by recommending this age range.
From 8 years old, the detailed instructions and the pictures help them understand how to assemble each part of the monument, while improving their ability to follow complex steps. The kits of the oriental world also awaken curiosity about architecture and oriental culture, which enriches the experience beyond simple play. By choosing our kits, you guarantee your child a creative, safe and educational playtime, perfectly suited to their age and abilities.
Building with our building blocks lets your child invent shapes, houses or even cars with their own hands. These games are perfect for developing fine motor skills, because each block has to be placed in the right spot, which strengthens the small muscles of the fingers. Our blocks also help to develop logic, for example when they have to work out how to build a solid tower so that it does not fall.
By choosing the colours, the child also trains their eye, learning to recognise and match shades. When several children play together, they learn to work as a team, to share ideas and to listen to each other. Some blocks come with letters and numbers, which helps with reading while having fun.
The simple act of building gives self-confidence, because each achievement makes the child proud of what they have imagined. We have chosen robust and safe materials so that you can let your child play without worry. The blocks constantly stimulate the imagination, because there is no limit to what can be created.
You will see your child improve and start again without ever getting bored. After this lovely building adventure, also discover our selection of oriental arts and crafts, which will let your child explore new worlds while continuing to develop their creativity.
