Using giant Imagination Playground blocks, children can build a new world every day of the Festival. This interactive activity includes a wide variety of loose parts, including cubes, bricks, cylinders, cogs, and curves, for children to move and transform a play space into imaginary houses, skyscrapers, ships, or even animals. Imagination Playground is child-centred and encourages self-expression through play.
