  • "Made In The USA" by Cambium Lair, the supplier of "Unit Blocks" to 10,000 classrooms since 1991
  • "True" Unit Blocks Based On Caroline Pratt's 5-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 1-3/8" Standard Unit Dimens
  • Hard Maple Blocks; No Generic "Hardwood" Or "Imported Rubberwood"
  • All Block Surfaces Sanded Smooth And All Edges Eased
  • Maple Wagon Measuring 16-1/4" x 12-3/16" x 6-7/16" Riding On four 4-1/2" Diameter Maple Wheels

Product Description

Our block sets are "Made in the USA". We manufacture in New England starting with hard maple lumber from the forests of the Northeast. We do not use "rubberwood" or the mixed species others refer to as "hardwood". Each set is built according to the "Unit Block" standard developed by educator Caroline Pratt in the early 1900's. The dimensions of each block shape is a multiple or a fraction of the size of the piece defined as the "unit". The "unit" is a rectangular piece of maple measuring 5 1/2" in Length by 2 3/4" in width by 1 3/8" in height or thickness. The name of each basic rectangular block shape in a set is based on its size as compared to the length of the "unit", e.g., the Unit Block is 5 1/2" long while the Half Unit Block is 2 3/4" long, the Double Unit Block is 11" long and the Quad Unit Block is 22" long. The dimensions of all other block shapes, including columns, pillars, triangles, curves, etc., are proportional to the length, width and height dimensions of the "unit". This is the source of the term, "Standard Unit Blocks". The fixed relationship between the "unit" and the other block shapes creates an environment in which children develop motor skills and "absorb" math concepts such as length, volume and fractions while totally engaged in the creative freedom of block play. Children "discover" the relationship between the different standard unit block shapes through play. They learn that two Unit Triangles make a Unit Block, etc.. Set 1602 incudes: 2 Doubles, 10 Units, 10 Half Units, 1 Roman Arch, 1 Roman Arch Door, 1 Half Arch, 1 Half Arch Buttress, 2 Unit Triangles, 4 Half Unit Triangles, 2 Unit Columns, 2 Half Unit Columns, 4 Unit Pillars, 4 Half Unit Pillars, 12 Quarter Unit Pillars & 2 Quarter Circles & 1 Hard Maple Wagon Measuring 16-1/4" x 12-3/16" x 6-7/16"='s 59 Total Pieces

Customer reviews

Quality isn't everything 5
No, this isn't the highest quality toy on the market, but it is functional. Besides, I wasn't expecting much more than an afternoon's project with my construction/firetruck/tractor-loving 5yr-old son when I bought it for $10.

With that said, this probably is my son's favorite project. Even months after he completed the bridges (with my help), he still uses the sturdy truss bridge when he plays with his trucks, and gets wild-eyed stares when he brings the suspension bridge for show-and-tell (HINT: we flattened a long cardboard wrapping-paper tube and attached the suspension bridge to it to make it easily portable, and we used rubber bands to keep the suspension wires attached to the bridge). He also spent a lot of time playing with the plaster bricks for the arch bridge -- no, he didn't try to cement them, but had lots of fun balancing them in place which is non-trivial for a 5 yr old.

So for $10, I got a toy that sparked the imagination of my son and his friends -- what more could I ask for as his $50 V.Smile video game system gathers dust in the corner?

Real Junk 1
The Only good thing about this, is the book that comes along with the instructions. The suspension bridge, is made out of paper, the cement for the stone bridge does hold together properly.

What a waste of money.

A Woderful Starter Kit 5
It's a perfect model kit for the creative and curious minds of all ages. This will certainly help with kids projects and understanding of Structural building. The scale is precise, and building and painting can be hours of fun. I highly recommend this item for young builders and profesionals.

Useless Product -- would give it 0 stars but 1 is the lowest 1
The description of this product is very enticing. But when you open the box the disappointment starts and spirals out of control. This is a very poorly made kit in all respects. The materials used, the quality of the pieces, the manner in which they fit together are all a huge disappointment. Do not waste your money. Save yourself seeing your child's crestfallen face. I wish I had taken the time to return it.

Awesometastic. 5
This product was thuroughly enjoyed by the 3 year old, the 2 year old and, sadly, the 24 year old. The pieces are durable and will last the children's lifetime, more than likely. I would highly recomment this product if it was about $30 cheaper. As it stands, I only lightly recommend this product highly.

It's a toss up as to who loves this toy most! 5
My son received this for his 2nd birthday a few months ago, because of his intrest in it at a local children's museum. All I can say is that I'm uncertain who loves it more, him or his parents! It certainly sparks creative thinking as we try to outdo each other in our creations! I didn't realize that I had it in MYSELF to be so creative. This toy just brings it out of you. I swear I find myself playing with it for long periods of time when I'm actually just supposed to be putting it away! It's quite peaceful actually! The mathmatical concepts it's already teaching my son make it priceless as well! He's learning spacial reasoning, critical thinking (will this structure hold if I...) as well as shapes, colors and creativity.

If you are like me, I faithfully read all the reviews before purchasing an item and went with others suggestions and purchased the clear tiles. Personally I like the clear tiles! The uses seem to be endless. I must add that although it is a large monetary investment, I feel it is wiser to purchase the set of 100 as 32 simply isn't enough. This toy will certainly span the ages, thus worth the investment.

GREAT PRODUCT 5
This toy is fantastic!! The only thing that could improve upon it would be to make a set that has diffent size squares (large ones and smaller sizes) so that structures could be sturdier. Other than that--this product is simply great! My son and daughter play with it every day and make garages, churches, castles,---you name it! Worth every penny!

magna-tiles--great!!! 5
Great for 3 yrs. + imagination and creative thinking!!! A must have! A little expensive, however worth it because this is great for multiple ages beginning with 3 for basic building up to 8-9 for spacial and creative thinking.

Clear Magna-Tiles great, but get enough. 5
My son loved it in preschool and was excited to receive it as a Christmas gift this year. He recognized it right away, tore open the box, and began to create. His only disapointment a couple days later is there were not more. I was unable to find the 100 piece of the clear tiles, only the opaque. That really would have been a better number for the set, 32 just isn't quite enough. I wanted the clear because I thought he would like to be able to see the items he built around (cars, dinosaur figures, etc.) I was right on that part. I also found some neat science links online for color experiments using these clear tiles. My older daughter and I will be doing them soon. We will be purchasing the 100 piece set for his birthday or another one of the 32 if we are unable to get our hands on the 100.
