What We Sell
Right here in Indiana, we manufacture and sell classic, school size children's
unit blocks made of premium
American rock maple.
We Manufacture and sell booster kits and open stock for
those that already have blocks and want augment an
original kit.
We sell classic,
old fashioned Hard Maple building blocks in a wide range
of kit sizes from our little Infant Kit to our great big
School Kit. We also sell Booster Kits for
augmenting an existing kit and we sell Open Stock so you
can buy one piece at a time or whatever mix of blocks
you want to buy - including many special pieces that are
not found elsewhere. All of our Building Blocks
are the same scale - the 1-3/8 modulus typically found
in schools. |

Block Projects
Here are
some examples of things children can make with Building
Blocks. If you have some pictures of things your
children have made, we'd love to add them to our gallery.
These projects may require some pieces from open stock, but
they are illustrative of the sorts of things that children
can do starting around five or six years old.

Catalog |
Wooden Blocks Catalog
Use this page to order our new catalog. This
can be obtained by filling out the form on the Catalog
Page. There is nothing in the catalog that is not
right here on the Internet . . and a great deal
here, that is not in the catalog. But for Internet
tyros, it sometimes helps to have some paper. And
a catalog is a great way to suggest an appropriate gift
to the "Grands." Regrettably, we cannot send catalogs
outside of North America. If you write to us,
however, we can sometimes be persuaded to reconsider. |

Pictures
of Children's Block Projects
Some of my smaller friends provided
pictures of their favorite architecture credits.
These pictures can give you some idea of what can be
made with a set of blocks in creative hands. Be sure not to miss the "Ocarina Hall o' Fame"
or "Homage to Squid." (click right). |

The days have passed when we
gave our wooden blocks away in used onion bags (Now we
use new Onion Bags), but we still have a lot of recipes
for onions and other kinds of condiments. Go here
to copy our bang-up recipe for Salsa or our Mango
Chutney. Got an condiment recipe we can use?
We'd like to hear about it. |
