Twig! A gratifying new branch to the Classic Building Block family tree!
It's a building set that really offers you the freedom of exploring the-inside-and-the-out of fun designing. Playing with Twig is gratifying for your hands - and offers mental play that's exuberant!
Wondering what makes Twig blocks so special? It's not the green conscious design and packaging, the colors, or even the shapes, it's your hands and mind in concert with the finest materials for amazing building. Equally appealing in the playroom, in your office, or on the coffee table. Twig is design for everyone.
With Twig, you create using your mind's eye... Your mind finds satisfaction in sorting colors, finding solutions for intermixing pieces of varying depth, accommodating diverse interior dimensions and shapes, and making final adjustments to your masterpieces. Precision-cut wood pieces slide in between and next to one another with ease. Extra rich colors add terrific flair to structures.
Learning comes naturally. Twig construction sets refine small motor abilities. Twig helps develop skills in logic, problem solving, visual-spatial ability, creativity and ingenuity, sensory awareness, language & vocabulary proficiencies, cooperative and independent play skills, and artistic expression. Kids love putting the unique interchanging pieces together.... adults love the freedom of design.
Precision wooden shapes and vibrant colors meet in modern building blocks. Natural wood is carved with care and colored with brilliance. Light plays its way through the windows of Twig - illuminating lines, contours, space, and arrangement. Open your mind and imagination to new exercises in visual spatial development. More Twig.

Great for my 2 1/2 year old - he was bored with regular stacking blocks and the design of these allow for him to be more creative.
Beautiful Colors, High Quality Materials

My 3-year old son loves Wedgits so I bought him Twig to try something a little different. It's taking him a little while to warm up to it (as it did with the Wedgits), but he loves the colors and shapes and I love the quality of the materials. I think he will eventually enjoy playing with it very much. My only regret is that there are no pictures or design cards (such as with the Wedgits) for those of us that are spatially challenged that give ideas of the kinds of shapes one can make with Twig.
Totally engaging toy!

From the moment my daughter opened the box, she was enthralled. The colors are vibrant and the various shapes of the blocks unique. Mommy, Daddy, and Daughter are all having fun building castles and robots and towers. I think that will be a toys that provides tons of open ended fun for months/years to come.
Great Toy

We got this for our two kids, and they really enjoy playing with it. They've made lots of shapes and designs with the blocks, and have fun putting them together in different orientations. The bright colors really catch the attention of our youngest child as well.
The only problem with it (and it's a very slight one) is that you'll need a larger container to put the blocks back in when the kids are done playing. If you want to put them back in the box they came with, it takes a bit of time to fit them all in the box. The toy rarely gets put away, though, since the kids like to play with it a lot.
