Artec Blocks Educational Toy Summer Vacation Excavator Vehicle Boys Tires I counted 243 pieces, but there might be some errors, so it's approximately 243 pieces. The box for working vehicles is not included. I will include the instruction manual, but it has some folds, so consider it as a bonus. Bubble wrap is difficult due to the size. Paper items will be protected from water, but the blocks will be packed directly into the box. *Please see my profile.*
