What are the best Plus-Plus educational toys for 7-9-year-olds?

With Plus-Plus, the wonders of learning and magic of play go hand in hand—piece by piece. Empower curious kids to tackle creative challenges, develop fundamental fine motor skills, and push the boundaries of their imaginations with these Plus-Plus standouts:

  • Puzzle By Number sets: Building STEM skills is as easy as 1-2-3! With Plus-Plus Puzzle By Number sets, you can chart your own color-coded U.S. map, bring vibrant animals to life, and set off roaring rocketships—unleashing new creative discoveries with every interlocking piece.
  • Inspired fine art series: Awaken the budding artist in your little builder with carefully curated color mixes inspired by iconic creators and their groundbreaking work—from Monet’s famous footbridge to Frida Kahlo’s stunning self-portraits.
  • Learn to Build sets: Piece together 80+ flags of the world, resurrect ancient dinosaurs, and manufacture mix-and-match robots with these tactile toys for tomorrow’s architects and engineers.

Do all Plus-Plus sets come with instructions?

Nope! While some Plus-Plus toys are packed with easy-to-follow illustrated guidebooks to inspire budding builders, others are designed specifically for open-ended play and creative exploration. Pop open a color mix tube of glittery, neon, or pastel pieces to see where your imagination takes you. Or concoct a custom mix of must-have favorites—with over 50 colors 177,000 combinations to choose from!

Also, instructions are just the starting point with Plus-Plus. Maybe that Puzzle By Number T-Rex turns into a soaring spacecraft or your Learn to Build robot finds new life as a fire truck—with eyes and arms! All of our toys are purpose-built to spark inspiration and open up an inspiring world of endless play possibilities.
