Russian Building Blocks

HABA's building blocks are great for improving motor skills and spatial recognition skills. Fun and educational!

Blocks seem to be regarded as the most simplest of toys. That may be true with common blocks, but in the TC Timbers Master Builder sets, we offer all the tools you need to build as complicated or as simple a structure as you like.

Not simply for young children, the TC Timber Master Builder Systems appeal to children and adults alike. These sets can be used by themselves or with other styles for complete versatility. Mix styles to make one distinctively your own. The blocks are made of maple hardwood and will stand the test of time, as well as the test of a three year old!

The Russian Empire was vast and culturally diverse. Her architecture drew upon many peoples and religions. This set combines many of the domes and arches that Russian Czars and religious leaders used in constructing buildings in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Ages 3 years and up.
