Melissa & Doug Blockables Safari Animals Building Set

This wildlife-themed construction system features sixteen wooden blocks with fifteen specialized connectors enabling accessible assembly of five distinct safari animals for children ages 2 and older. The set includes one articulated play figure and specialized felt components—lion's mane and elephant ears—with integrated attachment points that enhance anatomical authenticity and visual appeal. The illustrated instruction guide demonstrates sequential assembly of zebras, alligators, lions, elephants, and giraffes while supporting independent creative variations and hybrid animal designs. The innovative packaging unfolds into an expanded play surface and functions as a handled storage container for convenient organization and portability. Compatible with all Blockables collections, this expandable system cultivates fine motor precision, spatial reasoning, and mechanical problem-solving through hands-on construction activities. The thematic animal focus encourages narrative development around wildlife scenarios while fostering creativity and self-confidence through repeated design iterations in screen-free play environments.
