Toy Concept #3

This toy is a collection of building blocks that are grooved on either two or four sides, and each is made to fit with the corresponding block (the four-sided grooved blocks will fit with the two-sided grooved blocks).

• The principle behind this toy is basic construction and physics as well as a creative way to stimulate problem solving due to the grooves in the blocks.
• A child would be able to build and create anything that a normal building block is able to do, except the child is challenged by the need to match grooves with grooves, and smooth sides to smooth sides. This allows the child much more stability, and a greater thrill when it comes to knocking the constructed building down.
• These are very safe, as long as the child is responsible to not swallow or chew on the blocks. These blocks would be very inexpenxive to produce due to the mass quantity that they would be produced in. The blocks would be very durable as well, because they will be made out of wood.
