ECOHUDDLE- CITIBLOCS ORIGINAL WOODEN BUILDING BLOCK SET

CitiBlocs are super fun and have many eco-pros PLUS are so affordable. Seriously, any family can afford a set, which is nice since so many ecotoys are costly. Basics: Finding non-plastic eco-friendly building toys that meet my son's crazy high building standards is difficult. He loves Legos and K’nex but I don't love the plastic issues. CitiBlocs solves this issue. CitiBlocs are precision-cut wooden building blocks that are lightweight and since they're all identical in size and shape they require super thinking to build with. They also do not require glue, snaps, or connectors. Instead designs work based on gravity, balance, and imagination. ...

SUMMARY To play with CitiBlocs, kids need only imagination and gravity to build, stack and create their own fun. The cut blocks of wood are "green", crafted from New Zealand pine. The simplistic blocks are meant for solo play or a family fun session with grandparents and siblings. Through play with the blocks, grownups are encouraged to introduce kids to architecture, history, mathematics and science. ...

Whether it’s LEGO or MEGA, I confess that my kids are foremost fans of snap-together block sets — but sometimes you just need to get back to basics, and when CitiBlocs arrived in my mailbox for a test run last week, it was about that time. As bare-bones as blocks get, CitiBlocs are simple, natural-wood (New Zealand pine, to be exact) rectangles with no lips, grooves, or variations in shape, length or width — just a bare canvas for open-ended play. The kids and I tested the 100-piece set, but available sets range from 52 to 1,000 pieces. ...

By Armin Brott, McClatchy-Tribune News Service Dear Mr. Dad: My older children — ages 11 and 12 — are constantly complaining that things aren't "fair" when it comes to the rules in our house. They say it's not right that that their younger sibling (age 7) gets to enjoy many of the same benefits as they do, even though they're a lot older. For instance, bed time in our home is set for 9 p.m. on weeknights, which I feel is appropriate for the older and younger kids; but they don't agree. ...
