Guidecraft Little Bricks – 60 pc. Set

The set contains 60 miniature bricks along with 10 double sided concept cards. Each brick is scaled to a small architectural size, measuring about 4.5cm long by 1.5cm wide by 2.25cm high. The four colour gradients give the set an authentic brick look for building detailed models and scenes.

The Little Bricks are made from textured TPR plastic with a weighted metal interior, which gives each brick a solid, substantial feel in the hand. The texture and weight mimic real masonry at miniature scale, so builds feel authentic rather than flimsy, and the bricks sit steadily as models grow taller.

Children can practise architectural ideas, model scales and simple engineering, constructing houses, walls, towers and scenery. The bricks suit pretend play settings and even stop motion videos, and the 10 concept cards give starting points and challenges. They work equally well for indoor building and supervised outdoor play.

Each individual brick measures roughly 4.5cm long by 1.5cm wide by 2.25cm high, or about 1.75 inches by 0.6 inches by 0.89 inches. This miniature scale is what lets children build realistic models with fine detail, and the small size rewards careful, precise stacking.

Yes. Ten double sided concept cards come with the 60 piece set, offering twenty build ideas in total. They help children move from free building into following plans, introducing model scales and basic engineering thinking as they recreate the structures shown on each card.

Store the bricks indoors to protect the TPR plastic and metal interiors. Keeping the set in a lidded container or tray between builds stops the small bricks from scattering and makes it easy to pack the whole 60 piece set away once construction is finished.

Guidecraft recommends the Little Bricks set for children aged two and up. Younger builders enjoy stacking the weighted bricks, while older children take on the concept cards and more ambitious architectural models as their planning and fine motor skills develop.
