Why we LOVE this product!
Plain wooden blocks fall apart when you try to play with what you built. Blockables solve that with connectors, so a toddler's airplane can actually fly around the room, and the felt wings and sail make the builds feel like real vehicles.
The box folding out into a play mat is a clever touch for storage.
Two things to weigh: there are enough pieces for one or two builds at a time, not all four at once, and younger toddlers may need help pushing the connectors in.
Description
SKU:
50277
The Melissa & Doug Blockables Vehicles Play Set is a solid-wood building set with blocks, connectors and special parts (felt wings, a propeller, a sail and a tractor hitch) for building a sailboat, an airplane, a tractor with trailer and a race car, or anything kids imagine.
What's inside
- 18 wooden blocks
- 17 connectors
- 2 play figures
- Felt wings, propeller, sail with built-in connectors, tractor hitch and windshield
- Illustrated instructions
- Box that folds out into a play space, with a carry handle
How it works
Blocks join with the connectors so builds hold together and can be pushed around and played with. Kids can follow the pictures for the four vehicles, then mix pieces to invent their own. The set works with other Blockables sets.
What kids learn

- Spatial skills: matching a build to a picture

About
Melissa & Doug
Melissa & Doug was founded in 1988 by Melissa and Doug Bernstein, a husband-and-wife team who wanted to create meaningful toys that inspire children's imaginations. Starting with a focus on hands-on play and classic wooden toys, the company grew into a widely recognized brand known for products that invite children to explore, create, and discover through their own ideas.
The brand's philosophy centers on purposeful, open-ended play. Its toys encourage children to take the lead, whether they're preparing an imaginary meal, running a pretend shop, building a world of their own, solving a puzzle, or experimenting with art materials. These everyday adventures give children opportunities to practice creativity, develop problem-solving skills, build confidence, and learn through experience.
Melissa & Doug offers a wide variety of products, including wooden toys, realistic pretend play sets, puzzles, arts and crafts, and developmental activities. Thoughtful details and durable designs help make play engaging and encourage children to return to their favorite toys in new ways as they grow.
With a commitment to screen-free play, quality, and sustainability, Melissa & Doug believes that some of the most valuable learning happens when children are free to imagine, experiment, and follow their curiosity.
