GeniusBlocks, like other fine products from Hanz, unleash possibilities, and in doing so, inspire creativity and innovation. There is an interesting convergence of simplicity and sophistication in this unique 100-piece building set. The simplicity resides in the fact that all the pieces are the same size, shape, and design. The sophistication stems from the ways those pieces can connect to one another and the manner in which building with them frees the mind to see in new or different ways. Hanz' 'spring fit' connecting system enables pieces to connect easily yet firmly side-to-side, top-to-top, or side-to-top, while the 'pin and barrel' design allows any two blocks to connect bottom-to-bottom, forming very solid modular units with molecular overtones. The result is an astounding variety, and in some cases oddity, of ideas that rapidly spring up. Like a form of non-verbal brainstorming, the structures and appendages grow with an improvisational flow that can lead to joyously inspired results. Each GeniusBlock package contains 100 building pieces in 4 different colors - blue, green, orange, and pink. See GeniusBlocks at 2014 New York Toy Fair in Booth No. 5747.
