Mosaic Screw Set — 234 Pieces with a Real Screwdriver

234 coloured pieces and screws, a work board, and a real hand screwdriver. Your child picks one of 36 designs from the catalogue and screws the pieces down to build it — flat pictures at first, then more complex three-dimensional models. The screwdriver is the point: this is building, not sticking.

How you play

1. Pick a design from the catalogue.
2. Find the coloured pieces and screws it needs.
3. Line a piece up on the work board.
4. Drive the screw home with the hand screwdriver.
5. Carry on piece by piece until the design is complete.

What it builds

• Hand and wrist strength from real screwdriver work
• Following a plan step by step to a finished result
• Colour and shape matching against a design
• Patience — a 234-piece design is not finished in ten minutes

Three ways to play it

• Do a simple design first so the screwing action is learned before the complexity
• Take a finished piece apart and rebuild it in different colours
• Let your child design something and count out the pieces first
