Hi, I'm Charlie. I make really cool wooden toys that are both whimsical and mathematical. I design and make toys that are beautiful, feel great to touch, that stimulate the mind, use physics and geometry to be fun and challenging at all ages, and infinitely creative!

Beautiful and Fun. Sensory and Thoughtful. Arrange the wooden tiles to create your own marble races!

Out of this world fun for all ages!

Starbuilder blocks and the Oort Cloud are the unique creations of an Alabama flower farmer, philosopher, and father of four. After years of tinkering and playtesting a wooden block shape that came in a dream and encourages the builder to think creatively, sacred geometrical structures started to emerge. From a single block endless creations are possible! Then an obsession with penrose tiles and conway curves got me thinking about the possibilities of a geometric marble run made of modular tiles.

Designed and crafted in a small woodshop in Talladega, Alabama blending traditional woodworking with state of the art machining. Made of solid wood and quality marbles from Moon Marble Co for the best sensory experience and hand/mind coordination building. We are so excited to produce a toy that is indestructable, plastic free, and stimulating for all ages!

Woodwork

Each Starbuilder block and marble board is crafted in a small workshop in a barn on a flower farm in Talladega, Alabama. Made with Birch wood and love to be fun at all ages and over generations. Part of our mission is to make quality toys with no plastic and that never become trash. The artful creations you make will look as awesome in a museum as on a coffee table or playroom floor.
