How many blocks TOTAL can you make with this set? Is it worth buying vs. printing them yourself?

It's heavy card stock and there a quite a lot of them, in my opinion. I totally think they are worth the cost.

There are 12 blocks in this set. Ours were 2 of each color; red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

I haven't made any myself, but own a few traditional prints, and the paper is completely different. From what I've seen of the block printing process this paper would be far too flimsy. If you're lucky it might hold up. Washi paper would be far better for block printing. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/Shoji-Paper-Rice-Fibers-6MMU/dp/B0006PYKFK/ref=pd_sbs_ac_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WVZ3FKGHDA4N3D74Z7P I have a roll of this mulberry paper from Yasutomo. It's thick sturdy, and feels the same as the paper used on the prints I own.

I don't know, but I'm guessing not. I don't think there are as many pieces as there would be if you combined all the kits. But, I think that you could make all the things that you could make in the other kits. You would just have to do one thing at a time. It's a GREAT set - incredibly educational and fun for the kids!

Terry, there is 4 cool blocks in the package. Two for upper and two for lower, all 4 the same size. I ordered a set of these about a month ago and they are working out really well.

Not sure. The blocks were added to our collection and we threw the container out. Sorry I could not be more help.

I was planning on doing just that, but didn't end up buying a second set. If you look at the different sets, you'll see that they contain some of the same pieces. Fyi - I work at a school, and the kids loved playing with the set! Lots of opportunity for kids to analyze why a marble won't go through and then solve the problem. Fun family activity too!

Hi Dleef,with this set you only can build one model at the same time, there are not enough pieces to build two or more models simultaneously.

Hello. It comes with 1. You would have to do it twice to make whole ones. It works out

The larger set has shapes that the smaller set does not have. I don't think you could go wrong with either set, but I recommend that you start out with either one of the larger sets. I purchased a 20 pc set at first to see if our grandsons would like magformers, and it was a huge mistake as they both LOVED them and so we did not have enough pieces for them both. I have since invested in many sets and it provides hours of creative fun for them......a great toy in my opinion.

Our set has 4 a and 4 b. 3 a s are embossed and 2 b s. I do not know if all the sets are alike, but suspect they are. Nice blocks

You can make about two batches with that amount. We did a project with three kids and each one had about 3-4 egg shells

You may want to start with a basic set but with sufficient pieces to build different structures. For 2 of them, probably the 62 pc set may work.

I'd say it is a good size set. With the instructions you can build several cool projects - but only one at a time as most or all the supplied pieces are needed for each project. Don't lost any pieces either as there are no extras.

I buy Jigsaws Galore! and they have 50 puzzles on each disk. They sell one for $40 that has 200. I've never seen one with 2200 of them.

You are correct. You simply have to print out a picture of the item from the Amazon page and use it as a guide. I assembled mine very close to the picture but then did a little something different at the bottom. There are more beads in the set than needed according to the picture, but I used them all anyway.

You receive several dies with the set. I have just had surgery, can't really share all the sizes, but you do receive enough to cut the size of blocks a person would want and need to quilt.
