Blockraft Toy Construction Blocks, 1937-1946
Add to SetSummary
Children love to build things--whether they create imaginative worlds or smaller versions of the real one. Construction toys are quite literally and figuratively "the building blocks of childhood." Playing with them builds physical and intellectual skills--and encourages creativity. This set of colorful blocks used pegs to help secure a child's creation together.
