A New Twist On An Old Fashioned Toy:Back To Blocks Introduces "Whimsical Windows" Wooden Block Sets

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- The new "Whimsical Windows" wooden block set is a 68 piece natural wood block set made entirely of columns(a peg) and windows(a block with holes).  These are companion blocks, that fit together to combine for a whole new kind of block play. Children of all ages are drawn to playing with this new type of wooden blocks.

There are several lengths of columns, and the number of holes in the window blocks varies.There are enough  blocks in this set  to be able to build bridges, ladders, fences,merry-go-rounds, or even helicopters. They can be built in a spiral, go up, go out, hang down, or can be turned at angles. Children can build them in levels, carefully learning about balance and symmetry. The possibilities are limited only by the the child's imagination.

The "Whimsical Windows Large" block set contains 91 of these unique wooden blocks and adds even more innovative block types.  It has window blocks with holes in 2 different sides of the block, for a whole new dimension.  Now a structure can be built in two different directions at once. This set also contains blocks that are longer, and have more holes than the original "Whimsical Windows" set.  

These unique wooden blocks are perfect for younger children, who are developing their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills. They enjoy putting the pegs in each hole and ordering them by size, or number of holes. Older children are challenged by the new way of creating whatever spaceship, castle or abstract shape they can imagine.
They learn spatial relationship and perception skills, along with other basic math and science concepts. They learn to problem solve, as they  have fun playing in a new and exciting way.  

Another great feature of this product is the bright colored plastic bucket, used for storing these blocks.Clean up is a breeze, as kids can quickly toss the blocks back in the bucket.  No need to carefully stack them in a box. Little ones can carry the bucket easily too.

The Whimsical Windows block sets are not  meant to replace the classic children’s wooden building block sets. They are just a new and innovative way to play with a good old fashioned toy.  They would be an awesome addition to any building block set and multiply the functionality many times. They are also fun just by themselves, not just fun but “whimsical!”.
