Every child should have a nice set of unit blocks. Kids will have fun building towers and roadways, but they'll also learn while playing (which is why most schools have a generous supply!).
Guidecraft smooth unit blocks are made to resist dents and dings. They're finely sanded and rounded to eliminate any sharp edges, and are splinter-free to protect young hands.
The basic unit block is 1-3/8" x 2-3/4" x 5-1/2". All the other shapes are based on multiples or fractions of these dimensions. There are five different Guidecraft Unit Block sets available. The table below summarizes the pieces contained in each set.
