Building Blocks

This 60 piece starter set from Haba is made in Germany of solid, natural, untreated beech wood.


The basic building block is a 1.5 inch cube (4x4x4 cm). All the other shapes are derived from this cube. The rectangles and columns are either two, three, or several times the length of the cube.
