Ideal for rainy days or any indoor playtime, the Crayola Crayon Town Large Mat Construction Set gives kids plenty of inspiration for creative and imaginary play. Kids can use the crayons not only to color the three-dimensional construction scenes, but they can also use the crayons to build toy construction equipment, which they can then play with. Because it has small parts that can pose a choking hazard, this toy is recommended for children ages three and up.

Three Levels of Creativity
The Crayola Crayon Town Construction Set puts a new creative spin on crayons, offering several levels of play to inspire your child's imagination. Color: Crayon Town lets kids create a three-dimensional paper world for the figurines. It includes two oversized coloring mats depicting construction scenes. Each mat is double-sided for twice the coloring fun. The "Fold & Build" office, skyscraper, and tool shed are diorama-style paper cut-outs that can be colored, then folded to stand up on the coloring mats.
Build: The Crayon Town Construction Set features construction "equipment," such as road signs and barricades, that can be constructed using crayons. Together with two construction worker toys, a dump truck, and a cement mixer, these props help complete the construction scene.
Play: Children enjoy playing pretend with dolls and figurines, and this play set offers them just one more outlet for imaginary play. Children can play "construction" with the two construction worker figures, their vehicles, and all of the included construction props, right in the scene that they built and colored themselves.
Easily Renewable for Long-Lasting Fun
Parents will appreciate that the play set engages children in different types of activities to inspire their creativity. Our preschool-age toy tester especially enjoyed figuring out how to use the crayons to "build" the components, and she was occupied for a long period engaging in imaginary play with the figures.
At first glance, this toy set may seem too temporary; we know how quickly crayons get used up and broken, and we wish that the coloring mats were somehow reusable. That said, this set can be used with any crayons, which are easily replaceable, and Crayola makes additional coloring mats available for free download from crayon-town.com, so children can create their construction scenes over and over again.
