PLUS-PLUS are an exceptional building toy out of Denmark, of course, home of LEGO. It is an innovation in block design in that all of the pieces are the same shape, allowing for all same size pieces to fit together.

PLUS-PLUS are a true marvel of building block technology. They are made from 100% high quality food grade plastics and are both BPA and phthalate free. Both the PLUS-PLUS factory and their headquarters use 100% green energy, utilising the abundance of wind energy from the Scandinavian coast. And, on top of all of this, ALL the products and the packaging are 100% recyclable! WOW! Amazing!

Added to all of the environmental "pluses" is the fact that you can throw your PLUS-PLUS blocks into a mesh laundry bag and wash them in either the dishwasher or the washing machine, (max 90 degrees celsius) which means that they are easy to keep clean making them super hygienic! This makes them an awesome choice for daycares, day-camps, schools or any public facility that caters to kids.

PLUS-PLUS are also recognised as encouraging non-electronic STEM learning (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math), thus it stimulates and develops logic, creativity, fine motor skills and tech abilities all without the use of a screen. This helps stimulate lateral thinking which works to develop problem solving skills through both indirect and creative approaches.

Another fascinating point about PLUS-PLUS is that, although they come in two sizes, with many different colour schemes and pattern/assembly instructions, they all are, in fact, interchangeable, so long as they are the same size. This makes PLUS-PLUS a truly win-win product as a gift or for your own enjoyment. When choosing PLUS-PLUS you can be assured that you have chosen a product that will be functional and FUN for many years to come, whether they come in a tube or a box. PLUS, it is food grade recyclable plastic, so future generations will have no worries.

PLUS-PLUS is available here at OWLS HOLLOW in several styles, animal tubes and box formats. And remember, as long as the blocks are the same size that will fit together!
