I always had blocks growing up. It seems like every kid has them at some point, whether they have the standard letters on them to spell out words or painted on windows and doors to make houses.

SmallConcept.com is selling some very cool looking hardwood blocks from a company called Haba. Skyscraper Blocks let your 18 month plus child create city scenes “without the smog.” The set includes 24 natural finish hardwood blocks, and 12 accessories including people, trees and even a puppy (all made of wood). What makes these blocks unique is the attention to subtle architectural design than makes these towers actually look like buildings and not just blocks stacked on top of each other. The set sells for $37.00 and can be bought directly from SmallConcept.com.
