Description
Kurt Naef's Building Blocks (1955) were among the first of his designs for children and a core component of his Basel-based company’s educational philosophy. These blocks can be stacked and nested to form staggered constructions—bridges and towers, for instance—stimulating a child’s creativity. Ages 3 and up.

Instructions
Print as many as you'd like in all kinds of pretty colored plastics that you have! The more, the better. This scale is at 2" blocks, the original size, but you could probably make them smaller or larger if you'd prefer!
