Plus-Plus Big: Learn and Explore

Pour out the 90 colorful pieces of Plus-Plus Big: Learn and Explore, each with the same simple shape, and your preschooler will happily start putting the pieces together. Plus-Plus Big: Learn and Explore naturally encourages gentle progress in your child’s skills.


He will begin with the fine-motor practice of connecting a couple of pieces to create simple snakes or swords. Over time your child will advance to more complex constructions such as flowers and whales. 


Each slightly rubbery piece is made from plastic that is free of phthalates and PVC. Plus-Plus Big: Learn and Explore is relatively new to the U.S. market. It includes their very helpful baseplate and guidebook with ideas. In our Preschool Handbook, you will also find quick tips for introducing Plus-Plus to your children and additional ideas for convergent and divergent models. 


New for 2022, Plus-Plus Big: Learn and Explore has wheels to get your creations moving!


About Plus-Plus
Created in Denmark (known for minimalist designs with purposeful function), Plus-Plus Big has an odd name, but a captivating design. Plus-Plus comes in two sizes: the larger Big, which is safe for younger children, ages 1 and up; and the smaller Mini, which is for builders aged 5 and older. Plus-Plus has gained a tremendous following over the last few years in Denmark and is so highly regarded in education that it is used in most Danish schools. Here’s why we’ve included it in the Preschool Curriculum Kit.

Pull out the pictures and your child will intuitively begin to create. Plus-Plus' identical, simple shapes with their slight rubbery texture glide smoothly together with very little pressure. And they stay together! Plus-Plus' pieces grip without slipping and come apart without effort. Plus-Plus encourages children to think creatively about color, design, and structure and is a painless way to develop fine-motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

    Great In Theory

    We have tried to love Plus-Plus and though we still include it for a hands on activity, it's just not a favorite. One of my kids really wants to be able to make what is in the handbook, but the instructions aren't always clear and ultimately the things that get built fall apart very easily. The way that the pieces go together is really odd, and we just don't find as much enjoyment in these as I had hoped. For age reference we use these for 1st and Pre-K level.

    So many builds

    We have built so many things with these! Great for all ages. It’s been a great learning tool but also just fun times.

    Another big hit in the STEM department

    I'll admit, I wasn't sure about Plus Plus but I am now a believer. This kit has so many uses! You can use it for counting, color sorting and it's just wonderful for practicing fine motor skills. The instruction book is simple and easy to use, my son has great fun following along and putting together his little masterpieces. I also like that the pieces are not tiny and therefore not easily lost, but also light weight so you won't recieve permanent brain damage if they get chucked at your head by an over enthusiastic toddler (don't ask how I know this). And similar to the magnet tiles and ThinkPlay in this kit, people of all ages have fun using their imaginations to go outside the instruction book and build their own projects.

    This is another must have to use as a reward for their hard work in the curriculum! My son loves this!

    so fun

    We love these so much that we keep them out for all the kiddos to use, including our 10 year old. They're relaxing to build with and make all sorts of creations. We really like how they're made from recyclable materials.
