A brand new creative Australian company 'Green Hat Workshop' have developed one of those QUIRKY 'why didn't I think of that' products that will be enjoyed by multiple age groups for generations to come.

Made from natural materials these fabulous Pine PLANKS are sturdy, long-lasting and unique building blocks for creative minds. They are precisely cut from plantation pine, are identical in shape and size, long enough to counter balance, thin enough to stack, heavy enough to weigh structures down and keep them together and cut so exactly that they can stand on end.

Plank building blocks are arguably the most open ended and inclusive toy in the world, receiving many awards and accolades for their unusually wide appeal.

PLANKS can be used to build both simple and complex structures. This enables the participants to dictate the challenge and complexity of the task. Planks provide challenge and engagement for children, teenagers and adults and a level playing field between these groups so that they can play together.

Planks provide hours of inspiring entertainment for all ages, as budding architects and engineers show off their creative flair building the tallest towers, bridges, tunnels and city scapes. The team here truly believe Dad will not be able to keep his hands off this box of identical blocks. We can already imagine the challenges being set as children and adults alike push their imagination and skill to the limits to create some awe inspiring pieces.

Recently lauched at Life Instyle Melbourne, this product not only develops fine motor and creativity skills but also encourages social development. PLANKS are a great group activity, working together to develop their team 'super structure', held together purely by gravity and balance.

PLANKS have received the big thumbs up from on line reviewers 'Babyology' plus you can check out some of the amazing creations people have made and showcased on Green Hat Workshop Flickr page. (Poplet images for this product have been sourced from this Flickr page)

From toddlers to adult professionals, males and females, individuals and groups, the mixture of art and engineering is engaging for all.

Available in 2 sizes of 100 blocks or 200 blocks
