...old fashioned wooden blocks help to develop creativity, intellect, and basic understanding of STEM concepts better than anything else for young children.

I relied on them heavily in my boys toddler years and their adolescence and I just couldn't be more happy to see the men they grew up to be.

They function on a high level, and I think those hours spent with these things had more to do with who they are then anything I may have said to them about anything.
