The New Stone Era -- Die Neue Steinzeit


The series The New Stone Era consists of two types of sets.  Both of them are intended to appeal to young children -- or more accurately their parents. 

For children from 2 or 3 years old up until they are old enough to enjoy building with the NF stones, the sets are quite similar to wooden block sets.  So why not buy a cheaper wooden block set?  For all of the same reasons that make Anchor stone building sets are better than wooden block building sets.


 

Older children will have outgrown the colorful "toy" stone blocks and want "real" stone blocks for building useful and interesting structures.  The second part of "The New Stone Era" are normal Anchor stone sets with appropriate plans and a useful stone selection.


 Yes, the same stone selection (in full size NF stones) as the earlier Heinzelmännchen (and reissued during the DDR [VEB] era as "Der kleine Gernegroß unter den Anker-Steinbaukasten").
