In the sixth Gift, the three-inch cube is now divided into 18 oblong "brick-like" blocks, 12 flat, square blocks ("caps"), and 6 narrow columns.
Gift 6 continues from the division of the three inch cube introduced in Gift 5. As Gift 4 introduced new proportions to Gift 3's cubes, so does Gift 6 introduce new proportions to the three inch cube. This is a return to concepts of size and modularity introduced in Gift 4. The arrival of the classic construction components of the cap and the column brings a real architectural feel to this Gift. In fact, Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin Building can be represented by using the contents of Gift 6. As with Gift 5, this Gift is best used with children 5 years old and older. The small column pieces may pose a choking hazard for very young children. Manufactured in Viet Nam. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs. |
