What are CitiBlocs?! CitiBlocs - he is the excellent wooden construction! =)

 

 

Citiblocs are high quality wooden construction blocks which inspire both traditional building and moderndesign. The secret behind Citiblocs is that every piece is exactly the same shape and size. Each block is precisely cut from Grade A Radiata Pine from certified renewable forests in New Zealand. Citiblocs Building requires no glue, no snaps, no connectors and no magnets: just gravity, balance and imagination. 

Building with Citiblocs is simple: stack one block on top of another. Their specific size and shape and weight allows building that is simply not possible with other building toys. Build a small cabin by the lake or a tower that reaches the stars!

Citiblocs are recommended for ages 3+. Citiblocs are certified safe and non-toxic and have been tested and approved according to all Consumer Product Safely Improvement Act (CPSIA) regulations.

The founder of CitiBlocs, Marjorie Israel Chayette, knew what child experts and educators have advocated for years: Open-ended, free play is key to unlocking a child's boundless creativity. Building blocks facilitate fundamental hand/eye coordination and tune fine motor skills for preschoolers, while fostering innovation, focus and self-esteem in older children.

With fun and learning in mind, Marjorie created CitiBlocs with a design that requires no glue, no snaps, no connectors and no magnets. They're made from pine grown in renewable forests in New Zealand and China. They're not treated with any chemicals, and they're certified nontoxic. Each lightweight block is precision cut to the exact same shape and size every time, allowing for easy balancing and stacking. Gravity, balance and ingenuity are all you need for hours of entertainment for kids and grownups. No batteries required.

Citiblocs for Schools

Citiblocs are suitable for young children (ages 3+) who can easily pick up and stack these light weigh blocks – stimulating fine (small) motor skills to pick up, and gross (large) motor skills to move about.

Older children will build with more developed motor skills and their  block play will  become more detailed and require precise movements with plenty of control. 

Citiblocs are great for boys and girls and for a broad age range – there’s always a beginning and a challenge with these unique blocks. 

Citiblocs is about creativity and like all block play, it’s also about maths and sciences –from size and shape to weight and leverage and balance. As the complexity increases, so does the concentration level.   Gravity and  balance require problem solving.  Making plans and making those plans concrete are all a part of Citiblocs play and success. 

Education through observation

With Citiblocs – you can plan a house or a street or a city – by yourself or with multiple builders who can be working on the same project.   The builders can work together fostering cooperative play and promoting discussion and observation, decision making and conflict resolution and other forms of social interaction.   It’s easy to talk construction – to observe, describe and compare. It’s all hands on experience, enhancing awareness of texture and sound and touch and enabling kids to speak a common construction language for engaging on a real building adventure.   Kids will explore with the finest building blocks EVER !

A hands-on approach to creativity

Creating a vision , creating the solution, and executing the plan.  Enjoy the pride and satisfaction of success and a job well done -- these are the attributes of CITIBLOCS.  CITIBLOCS celebrate and respect the individuality and talents of each and every builder.  CITIBLOCS are ideal for a diversified classroom, ideal for learning centers,  ideal for differentiated age groups, for camps, day care and children’s play groups of all kinds.  Ideal for kids with learning differences.  Every building is a sign of success.

With CITIBLOCS – kids learn while they build – sequencing and science – numeracy and hand to eye movement – problem solving and teamwork  - concentration and creation.   There are limitless possibilities to discover and design – limitless opportunities to begin anew without worrying about a missing piece or complicated instructions.    Watch the blocks come tumbling down and no big mess to clear up until the next occasion to build.  Powerful learning value – it’s multidisciplinary – it’s learning all the time.

CITIBLOCS also offers a 1000 pc set of natural blocks. This set is GREAT for educational purposes and groups of children in kindergarten classes, pre-schools or day-care and primary school.  1000 pieces allows a whole classroom of children – and even several classrooms -  to build a city or landscape.  Kids can build together,all working on their own “neighborhood.”
