Built for Big Ideas

(and Little hands)

Wooden color matching educational toy with colorful fabric swatches and wooden tiles in a cubical frame.

OlliBlocks are a life-sized outdoor block playset that invites kids into a world of open-ended, screen-free play.

Inspired by Montessori principles, it’s designed to grow with your child—offering years of imaginative construction, fort-building, and physical exploration!

All images are of the PROTOTYPE, which is a 1:3 scaled down model of the full size set.

FYI

Wooden blocks with colorful sheet.

While you may notice the model is a bit rough around the edges (little holes, smudges, etc.), the true version will have a fully sanded, smoothed, and sealed finish.

Encouraging kids to foster beauty in their environment is a Montessori principle that OlliBlocks aims to inspire!

The Full-Size set is comprised of:

A modular wooden frame that acts as a base structure, everything packs away neatly into this 3 foot open cube. Also has slots along the top to secure the panels, and 16 nubs to loop the Fun-Sails onto (more about those below!)

Wooden cube with grid pattern resembling a Rubik's Cube design. Stacked cubes in wooden box frame.

6 Panels that are each 14” x 30” and equipped with ridges to keep them in place; whatever is being created! They can be stored by sliding into the slots on the frame’s top edge.

4 “Fun-Sails” (colors as shown: Mint, Golden, Autumn, and Sky). Each is 30” x 40”, Custom sewn using a breathable elastic fabric, with loops on each of the corners.

They can be hooked onto the nubs built into the frame to create anything imaginable! One of the blocks will have an open top, so the fun sails can be stored neatly inside.

FAQs

  • Each OlliBlock is a 10 -inch wide cube. Large enough to create a fort with, and lightweight enough for your child to move them around. 

    Each Panel is 14 inches by 30 inches. 

    Each Fun-Sail is 30 inches by 40 inches. 

    The Base Frame is about a 3 foot wide cube.

    The rubber mat is a 4 foot square and the weather cover will slide over the top of the frame, covering everything.


  • Because they are hollow, Olliblocks are lightweight for their size! Weighing just 6.5lbs each. (My 3 year old can pick them up and move the around). It is highly recommended that your little ones have an adult with them, ensuring they play safely of course, as these are made of hard wooden materials.

  • Although these are designed with longevity/durability in mind, sometimes we can have a little too much fun (but thats to be expected.) Fret not, you don't have to order a whole new set! Just let me know what needs replaced by emailing, texting, calling or leaving a message, and I will make your replacement available for purchase/delivery.

  • All of the lumber will be coated with a Spar Varnish, the kind of marine varnish used on boats! So it will resist the Harsh UV rays and rain for many years if handled well. However, if you keep the set packed away and covered with the weather-cover after playtime, it will greatly extend its life (especially if there’s hail in the forecast!)

  • Yes! I recommend using a gentle wash setting and dry on low heat. Avoid bleach so they don't become splotchy!
