It includes 16 building blocks in four colors and four shapes, plus six colorful fish and one fishing rod. Designed for children aged 1 to 3, it encourages hand-eye coordination and can be played with alone or with a friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat comes in the box and what can my toddler learn?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set contains 16 wooden blocks in four colors (red, yellow, blue, green) and four different shapes (circle, square, triangle, star – based on typical sets, but the exact shapes are not specified; the product description mentions four shapes). Alongside the blocks are six small fish in assorted colors and a fishing rod with a magnetic or hook-style end. The blocks can be stacked on the included base pillars, and the fish can be \"caught\" with the rod. This combination helps toddlers practice matching shapes and colors, improve fine motor skills, and understand cause and effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSafety and materials: what you need to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMerabufa uses high-quality wood and water-based coatings that are non-toxic, odorless, and resistant to fading. The blocks have a medium geometric size that is easy for small hands to grip but not small enough to pose a choking hazard. The wooden pillars are sturdy and unlikely to break during normal play. The fish are coated with a smooth, bright finish that is safe even if a child mouths them. As with any toy, adult supervision is recommended for the youngest children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecs at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 blocks + 6 fish + 1 fishing rod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlock colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 colors (red, yellow, blue, green)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlock shapes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 shapes (circle, square, triangle, star)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 assorted colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-quality wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-based, non-toxic, odorless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended age\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 to 3 years (toddler)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the fishing game add to the fun?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond stacking and sorting, the fishing element introduces a new challenge.
