CitiBlocs-as simple or difficult as any age child wants to make them

Children love blocks.  Make a block tower, knock it down and laugh hilariously.  Citiblocs takes that idea, simplifies it and makes it much more complex for older players too.  I use the word players, but it’s not a game; rather it’s a building system that doesn’t have pegs, notches, different sized pieces or is rendered obsolete if you lose a piece.   It’s simply blocks cut to the precise measurements of 1:3:5:15.

CitiBlocs in the box

 

Precision is important and those ratios don’t factor into how much you enjoy playing with Citiblocs.  The only thing you need to know is that every piece is the exact same size.  The only limit on what you can build is your imagination and to an extent, your skill.

All of the pieces are rectangular shaped, yet when you look at some of the more advanced creations they appear to have a curved appearance, what gives?  The rounded look is just an illusion that’s created by repeating patterns that are changed just a bit to provide that look.

We haven’t come close to mastering that look…

The recommended age on the CitiBlocs box is 3-103.  Our 5 year old likes to try to build standing structures and our younger one tried to get individual blocs to stand up.   We tried to get our dad to play with them (approximate age 80), but he wasn’t having any of it.  In theory though, the box is correct and anyone can play with CitiBlocs.

Additionally, they’re made from a certified renewable pine forest in New Zealand that just might have been shown in The Lord of The Rings.  OK, we’re kidding about that last part.   It’s a safe toy whose only restriction is gravity and ability by age.  CitiBlocs are non-toxic and have been tested and approved by all Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act Regulations.  Yikes, that’s a safety mouthful that means that the toy is safe.

It’s just a wood block.  A wooden bloc that can build virtually anything, has no splinters, is unbreakable and won’t stop being useful if one or two parts goes missing. Because children always keep their toys together, don’t they? If your child is more visual or wants to build in color CitiBlocs also come in various colors and a roller coaster set design too.
