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.

Cool blocks!
Posted 1/25/2013 by Amy Harrison

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 Possibilities
Posted 12/28/2012 by Jennifer

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.
