onward block play

Block Play originated as a way for all hands to make endless creations.  The pieces are beautifully designed with simple slide connections to alleviate the pressures or anxieties of producing desirable looking outcomes which can discourage future play. All pieces are designed to work together across all current and future sets.

Making design accessible means eliminating barriers to achieve beautiful solutions that inspire continued play. Block Play was inspired by our children and the students we work with, aspiring to shift the focus away from predetermined outcomes to play that supports exploration and experimentation. The pieces are sized and colorized to be child-friendly, created in the spirit of Montessori toys, while simultaneously appealing to all ages and individuals looking for an affordable creative outlet or stress reliever.
