LEGO's official description

LEGO® Classic Bricks Bricks Plates (11717) is overflowing with ideas and inspiration. As kids build, play and build again, this open-ended construction toy unleashes creative potential and delivers educational benefits that last a lifetime.

A rainbow of LEGO bricks
With various colors and shapes – including wheels, windows, doors and eyes – plus 4 16x16-stud baseplates, kids can build whatever they imagine. Clear guides get kids building simple LEGO toys immediately: a frog, pirate ship, elephant or castle… before constructing cool models of their own.
