“From the moment my daughter opened the box, she was enthralled. The colors are vibrant and the various shapes of the blocks unique. Mommy, Daddy, and Daughter are all having fun building castles and robots and towers.”

Twig! A gratifying new branch to the Classic Building Block family tree!
It's a building set that really offers you the freedom of exploring the-inside-and-the-out of fun designing. Playing with Twig is gratifying for your hands - and offers mental play that's exuberant!
Wondering what makes Twig blocks so special? It's not the green conscious design and packaging, the colors, or even the shapes, it's your hands and mind in concert with the finest materials for amazing building. Equally appealing in the playroom, in your office, or on the coffee table. Twig is design for everyone.
With Twig, you create using your mind's eye... Your mind finds satisfaction in sorting colors, finding solutions for intermixing pieces of varying depth, accommodating diverse interior dimensions and shapes, and making final adjustments to your masterpieces. Precision-cut wood pieces slide in between and next to one another with ease. Extra rich colors add terrific flair to structures.
Learning comes naturally. Twig construction sets refine small motor abilities. Twig helps develop skills in logic, problem solving, visual-spatial ability, creativity and ingenuity, sensory awareness, language & vocabulary proficiencies, cooperative and independent play skills, and artistic expression. Kids love putting the unique interchanging pieces together.... adults love the freedom of design.
Precision wooden shapes and vibrant colors meet in modern building blocks. Natural wood is carved with care and colored with brilliance. It is a rubberwood and water based paint. Light plays its way through the windows of Twig - illuminating lines, contours, space, and arrangement. Open your mind and imagination to new exercises in visual spatial development. More Twig.

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

 |
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

Twig blocks promote creativity even with my 1 year old. She loves the colors, shapes and Dad loves to build with her too!

The kids love this toy in the classroom. Being a special ed school the kids are always chewing on things. The chew toys are a hit.

Cool blocks!

Joint gift for 3 year old girl and 5 year old boy. They like these and will play with them together. Although the shapes are simple, they have not yet figured out that there are really many, many ways to assemble them. I think they will grow into them. They don't hold the 3 year old's attention as long as they do for the 5 year old.

Twig has a range of possibilities. It is well made and appealing in appearance. It has intrigued my children and encouraged them to try different things. The pieces have a loose fit, which has made it easier for my young children to put the pieces together and has caused less frustration (since they are not struggling with every piece). My 2 year old and 4 year olds can all play with it with minimal assistance, which also has its benefits.
