Citiblocs- Best Bang For The Buck!
CitiBlocs, CitiBlocs, LLC, $50 (200-piece set); www.citiblocs.com; ages 3 and up.
Everyone from beginner builders to advanced
architects will be inspired by the simplicity of these
blocks and the construction challenge that awaits
them. Citiblocs are made of New Zealand Pine; are
uniform in size, shape and weight; and capture the
essence of natural beauty. The blocks hold such
possibilities: ranging from simple mathematics to
experimentation with gravity, engineering and physics.
The set includes a booklet of illustrated examples to
jumpstart the creative process, while leaving the
assembly, problem-solving and discovery up to the
child.
