Citiblocs: Eco-building for Kids

When GiveThemRoots found out about these awesome building blocks, we couldn't keep away. After all, what little boy doesn't love a good set of blocks? And what Mom doesn't love a toy that is non-toxic, eco-friendly, educational and affordable?


The first time I saw Citiblocs was at a local children's museum. They had thousands of these blocks out to play with and children had built some of the most amazing things with them. Some were original creations and some mimicked the idea photos the museum had on display. My boys were still a little too young for them at the time but I knew this was a toy on their future toy list!

We recently gave a set of these award winning blocks to our nephew for his 11th birthday. He had a blast with them while he was here visiting. He will have hours of fun with his Citiblocs set, younger brother (8 yrs. old), and younger sister (6 yrs. old) for years to come. The high quality and classic elements of the product make Citiblocs a timeless toy, even adults will enjoy them. Citiblocs come with several building ideas from easy to difficult and there are endless possibilites of what you can create with them.

Loads of fun for sure, but that's not why GiveThemRoots loves Citiblocs. We love Citiblocs because they are made using high quality Radiata Pine, from renewable forests in New Zealand. Citiblocs are safe and non-toxic; they require no glue or nails for play. These blocks have received the 2009 IPMA Outstanding Products Award, as well as the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award. And best yet- they are crazy affordable!! A 52 piece set of natural wood can be purchased for just $15! A 100 piece set is just $28! Citiblocs are also available in colors. Check out GlammaToys.com to save 10% off the retail price. Citiblocs are available at ToysRus and other specialty toy shops. Citiblocs.com has an educational guide available for download, as well.

Now the fun part!!! Who wants to win a set?!? Visit http://www.citiblocs.com/ and tell me which set you want to win: your choice of either the 52-piece natural Citiblocs set or the 54 piece color building set. GOOD LUCK!

Those are the coolest ever! We love blocks around our house and Hayden is always asking me to help him build something or another! The best part for both of us has to be when we build a tower as high as we can and then we get to knock it all down! LOL!

How cool. I just entered the contest. We found out we are having a boy, and these look like a great block set.
