What do the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, and the Pyramids of Giza have in common? They're iconic structures that inspire awe, creativity—and now, some seriously fun playtime at home. With large building blocks from Biggo Blocks, your kids can recreate world-famous landmarks and explore the wonders of architecture right from the living room floor.
Big Blocks, Big Ideas
Large building blocks are both awesome toys and tools for developing engineering minds. When kids build with jumbo blocks, they engage in spatial reasoning, creative problem-solving, and imaginative storytelling. Recreating real-world landmarks gives them a hands-on way to learn about history, culture, and design.
Mini Landmark Builds to Try
Here are a few iconic builds your child can create with Biggo Blocks:
Medieval Castle
-
Build a towering castle complete with drawbridges and flags.
-
Add secret passageways or a throne room for pretend play.
Fun Fact: Castles were built for defense—and status. Many had moats, high walls, and lookout towers.
Modern Tower
-
Stack your blocks high and experiment with balance and symmetry.
-
Try recreating the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Skytree, or even your local city skyline.
Fun Fact: The Eiffel Tower was once the tallest structure in the world, standing 984 feet tall when it was completed in 1889.
Cultural Temples & Monuments
-
Use blocks to recreate temples, pyramids, or monuments from around the world.
-
Think: The Pyramids of Giza, The Great Wall of China, or even Stonehenge.
Fun Fact: The Great Wall of China is over 13,000 miles long and took centuries to build!
Global Inspiration Stations
-
Set up "build zones" themed around different countries.
-
Encourage kids to learn a fun fact or word in that country’s language while they build.
How Landmark Builds Spark Curiosity
Creating miniature versions of real-world architecture helps kids:
-
Discover geography and global cultures
-
Understand basic architectural principles
-
Boost critical thinking by figuring out how to stack, support, and balance their builds
-
Express creativity with colorful customizations and open-ended play
STEM Learning in Disguise
Large building blocks offer a perfect blend of STEM and storytelling. Kids unknowingly apply science and math concepts—like weight distribution, balance, and measurement—as they stack and stabilize tall builds. Plus, they gain a deeper appreciation for the world around them.
