Ignite children’s imaginations in group collaborative play with this stunning open-ended small world set from Cost Cutters UK:

• Children can use the three islands (45 x 45cm) individually or link them together by bridges or the boat. Each island has a chalk-friendly surface to allow children to draw on their own creations such as railways, roads, ponds, shops and destinations.
• The 68-piece set includes three islands, three mountains, two bridges, six trees, eight people, 12 house building blocks, two cars, one boat, one train, and loads of blocks for all the vehicles for open ended building. Children will love watching the cars, boats and trains travel between and across the islands as they use their creativity to create their own story and situations.
