Plus Plus Tube 100 - Container Ship
£7.00
For the child who has ever stood at a harbour or a port and gone very, very quiet while they took it all in, the enormous hulls, the stacked containers, the sheer scale of the thing, this tube is going to mean something. One hundred pieces in ocean blues, bold container reds, greens and yellows, a guided build of a proper container ship cutting through the waves, and then a whole maritime world to imagine beyond it.
We love it because:
- The finished ship is genuinely charming. Hull, containers stacked on deck, a little funnel on top. It's recognisably, satisfyingly a container ship, and your child assembled every piece of it themselves.
- The colour palette captures that harbour feeling beautifully. Bright container colours against cool blues and whites. It looks great on a windowsill.
- Part of the Plus-Plus Transport series alongside a Truck, Airplane and Train. Each sold individually, but all four together make a really wonderful collection. (This one does tend to prompt questions about the others.)
- Once the guided build is done, the pieces are raw material for whatever comes next. Whole fleets, harbours, dock workers, distant islands. The storytelling tends to take over from there.
- Sturdy resealable tube, dishwasher and washing machine safe. The things that matter.
