Stone and brick have been the construction material of great building projects for thousands of years. Introduce your young builder to these materials with these quality sets from Wise Elk. Realistic-looking stones, bricks, and tiles are made from plaster and are connected with safe, non-toxic glue. Sets also include a cardboard base on which to build your project and an instruction booklet to guide the building process. Since these sets do not just snap together, more advance thinking, planning, and fine motor skills are required. Don't worry, though - if you mess up on your project, soaking it in water dissolves the glue so you can rebuild it. Projects include generic structures such as a mill, lighthouse, and church, but also more advanced historic buildings such as a Mayan pyramid and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. The finished models have an air of quality that anyone can be proud of.
Years ago when we lived overseas, I saw a toy like this and almost got it. . . but didn't.
So when I saw this offered by Rainbow Resources, I was excited and got it. Wouldn't you know -- it's the same company from Ukraine!
The directions have a little of that translated-into-English feel, but are very clear and easy to follow.
For parents concerned about the adhesive labelled in another language -- it is regular PVA glue, typically used by children and in schools. (Still, don't eat it. . .)
My 8yo and 5yo are working on building this castle on their own right now -- though I can imagine it would be enjoyable for older children as well, especially since it feels very "real."

2 Questions
How many different model instructions does it include? Hopefully one for the castle model itself but are there any others?
Cheyenne W
We have purchased the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the German Church. Each one only came with one set of instructions, for building the model shown. So unless the company has more building designs on their website, you only get one set of instructions per kit as far as we’ve experienced.
Leslie B
Do the bricks need to be glued or can they just be stacked like in the picture?
You could stack the bricks but you risk an accidental dismantlement. The glue that is provided with the boxed set is water soluble and when you are ready to dismantle your building and construct another, you set the building in water for 30 minutes and then you are ready to build again.
