The simple yet revolutionary Unit Blocks is how Community Playthings got started in 1950. They were built to last and carefully crafted from solid maple to be proportionate to each other:  they all share the same modular dimensions.

The easy-to-grasp Hollow blocks are a more recent addition. Hollow blocks inspire imaginations and hard work with large muscles allowing them to build their own large play structures.  

All Community Playthings blocks modularity allows children to build stable structures combining all the sets and discover geometric principals in three dimensions.
