Glow-in-the-Dark Starter Blocks 195 Piece Set

The item is a bright lime green plastic container, roughly rectangular with rounded corners, designed to hold a building block set. The container features a removable lid with two distinct circular protrusions, likely acting as pegs or handles, suggesting a stackable design or a connection point for other similar containers. The primary visual element is a large, black label spanning across the front, framed by a thin yellow border. The label prominently displays "GLOW-IN-THE-DARK" in bold yellow lettering with horizontal lines extending from the 'G' and 'K', beneath which reads "Let Your Child's Imagination Take Flight!". To the left of this slogan, a green oval with a yellow outline contains the words "Starter Blocks" and indicates it is a "195 Piece Set". The label also features illustrative examples of creations, including a glow-in-the-dark pirate ship and a castle-like structure, along with images of individual block types and quantities. Specifically, it mentions "167 Basic Glow Blocks", "15 Thin Glow Connector Blocks", and "13 Universal Zero Blocks". A QR code is visible in the bottom-left corner of the label, adjacent to a 'DR' logo, likely indicating the manufacturer or brand. Below the product details, a "DISCLAIMER" is stated in white text: "WARNING: CONTAINS SMALL PARTS WHICH MAY PRESENT A CHOKING HAZARD FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3". The plastic container itself appears to be in good condition with no visible cracks, chips, or significant wear. Its simple, sturdy construction suggests it is a typical mass-produced children's toy from a modern era, likely late 20th or early 21st century given the 'glow-in-the-dark' feature and QR code. The overall aesthetic is functional and designed for child appeal, with a clear focus on imaginative play and safety warnings.
