Citiblocs are high quality wooden construction blocks which inspire both traditional building and modern design. The secret behind Citblocs is that every piece is exactly the same shape and size. Each block is precisely cut from Grade A Radiata Pine from certified renewable forests in New Zealand. Citiblocs Building requires no glue, no snaps, no connectors and no magnets: just gravity, balance and imagination.
Building with Citiblocs is simple: stack one block on top of another. Their specific size and shape and weight allows building that is simply not possible with other building toys. Build a small cabin by the lake or a tower that reaches the stars!
200 perfectly cut flat rectangular blocks encourage engineering and architectural abilities. Build towers, trains, creatures and more. The blocks are all the same size – measuring in inches approximately 1/4 inches thick x 1 inch wide x 4 1/2 inches long.

Review of Citiblocs Natural - 200 pc

Like the quality. Our son has autism, so he likes to build things. Unfortunately, he feels overwhelmed by the brochure of buildings and frustrated, because he is not able to build them himself (not are we frankly).
But that's personal. The product itself is fine!

outstanding product. I was surprised by how much our two boys (ages 4 and 12) enjoy building with such simple blocks. The blocks seem to work equally well challenging the older boy and not frustrating the younger boy.
I ordered a set of naturals plus a (smaller) set of colors each for my son and for my nephews. The addition of a few colors with the naturals is really beautiful and lends itself to creating patterns with the blocks. My son is 5 and is pretty interested in building, and these definitely test his small motor skills- they're pretty easy to knock over, but I consider that a positive quality, because it creates more of a challenge. Some customers may wonder whether these are compatible with other similar blocks (Keva, Kapla)- We got the Kevas too and the citiblocks are essentially the same, although I noticed that the citiblocks are maybe 1/16" longer than the Kevas- something that will probably not be a problem for most people and uses. The package is smaller than you might imagine- order lots! We have 300 so far and it has been enough for this post-Christmas week- but they can reportedly be built in towers up to the ceiling, and I am thinking you would need about 1000 to do that.
