Recently when visiting the Science Museum Oklahoma, I
lost an hour of time in the Tinkering Garage area playing
with these thin wooden blocks. Made from renewable
pine, the blocks use gravity and imagination to create.
Each package comes with an idea book, showing a photo
of a real item (such as a street of old?fashioned European
buildings) and then shows projects inspired by the photo,
including number of blocks used (in this case, anywhere
from 50?200). Low?tech addictive fun for all ages.
