Category: Wooden Toys

Block Science, a pioneering extension of the unit blocks system, adds a rich introduction to physics and essential cognitive development to traditional classroom block play. The Foundation Sets are designed to exercise early engineering concepts, collaboration, and the study of matter, motion and mathematics. Plastic building and roadway clips stabilize builds, drawbridges and loops to enable taller, sturdier and more mobile tracks and builds. Simplified, wooden cars with soft plastic wheels easily glide across the solid wood tracks while carrying algebraic people designed for mathematical and dramatic play activities. Each Foundation Set includes Concept Cards for building examples and language associations. Ages 3+

Customer Reviews (4.7 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Adam T. ★★★★★

The physics angle is what sold me — my kid figured out counterweights on the ramps without any help from me. The pieces are sanded smooth and fit together snugly, no wobble. Genuinely impressed with how much thinking these blocks get out of her.

Elizabeth F. ★★★★★

My four-year-old has been stacking these for weeks and still finds new ways to balance the ramps and levers. The pieces are cut precisely enough that towers stay up, which matters a lot when a toddler is testing gravity.

Robert ★★★★☆

The wooden pieces have a nice solid weight to them and my kids actually started figuring out balance and ramps on their own. Only downside is the foundation set doesn't come with quite enough blocks for two kids to build at once without squabbling.
