Play With Me ~ Guidecraft Water & Bead Blocks

Not long ago we shared with you some fun uses for Guidecraft Rainbow Blocks. This month our Play With Me toys are a set of wooden blocks with a colorful twist ~ Crystal Bead Blocks and Shimmering Water Blocks from Guidecraft. The Bead Blocks and the Water Blocks both come in a set of eight blocks per package ~ four rectangle blocks and 4 half circle blocks in the colors of red, yellow, green and blue. They are made from hardwood with acrylic centers. The beads inside are colored plastic and the water blocks have added glitter inside to make them shimmer. 

Other than building, here are some creative ways to play with the Crystal Bead Blocks and Shimmering Water Blocks.

Observe! ~ What does the world through a different colored lens?

   

Stack and balance ~ see how tall you can make your block pile grow! Have fun balancing the different block shapes too for an added challenge.

 

Try to get all of the beads in a single layer ~ a fun challenge for little ones!

Have fun measuring different things around the house ~ including your tot!

Let the animals have some fun ~ Set up some feeding troughs and water holes for your animals and people!

Sort by color and shape.

Put together 3 letter words ~ use letters to put together small words inside the rectangles.

Crystal Bead Blocks and Shimmering Water Blocks can be purchased directly from the Guidecraft website, via their NEW Facebook page, or from Amazon. Be sure to check out their Rainbow Blocks too ~ we LOVE those!!
