The set comes in a sturdy storage box that keeps everything organized and makes it easy to take along. It's designed for children ages 4 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the self-correcting feature work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach wooden piece has a unique shape that fits only with its correct partner.
