Have A Block Party At Your Desk!

In the neverending quest to find great products to fidget with, PixelBlocks has recently become the collective favorite here at the ThinkGeek conference room. They are tiny, translucent blocks/cubes that come in a dozen different colors. Simply connect them (either horizontally or vertically) and you can instantly build visually stunning creations in either 2-D or 3-D. The number of colors available to you means you can even create photo-realistic designs, commonly referred to as 'digital stained glass' (DSG) in the PixelBlock community. Check out our additional images to get some inspiration!

Why PixelBlocks? The tiniest dots of color you see on your computer or television screen are called picture elements, or simply pixels for short. Together they make up an entire picture. PixelBlocks are pixels made physical and set free from the computer screen. It's an innovative, but ultimately very simple design that enables you to build some really amazing objects and scenes.

How do they work? PixelBlocks come in a single shape, featuring a peg-and-hole combination for stacking top-to-bottom, and a unique tooth-and-groove combination on the other four sides. The unique shape allows PixelBlocks to be connected in three versatile ways that enable you to build effortlessly in 2-D or 3-D. The blocks themselves are approximately 3/8" (0.9 cm) translucent cubes.

Because of their size, PixelBlocks are not suitable for little geeks three years and younger. They are extremely suitable otherwise.
