A far out magnetic wooden construction toy
Out of this world!
Starbuilder blocks are the unique creation of a harebrained flower farmer and father of four wild and beautiful children. 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!
Designed and crafted in a small woodshop in Talladega, Alabama blending traditional woodworking with state of the art robotic machining. Made of solid wood with neodyminium magnets completely concealed inside for the best sensory experience and hand coordination building. We are so excited to produce a toy that is indestructable, plastic free, and stimulating for all ages!
Let customers speak for us
from 4 reviewsOur entire family enjoys this set of Starbuilderblocks. They are sturdy, well crafted, and offer endless creative building opportunities. I am very happy with our first purchase and I look forward to adding additional blocks to our set!
Bought two sets as they seemed unique and intriguing. They are gifts for grandchildren but I played with one set for hours. Highly recommend for quality, packaging, and mystery of how they fit together so well!
These are wonderful. I even like to play with them. I'm 65. One of my grand's have played with them and she makes what ever comes to mind. Just sitting and playing with them for a while. Great job!!!!!

geometry
Convex polyhedra have mezmerized the great thinkers of every age. There are only 5 platonic solids( all the faces are the same polygon, a cube for example) and 13 more archimedean solids( where the faces are more than one type of polygon, like the hexagons and pentagons of a soccer ball). Leonardo Da Vinci famously illistrated them and Kepler studied them and their astrological connections. Buckminster Fuller used them as the basis for his geodesic domes.
It is a stunning suprise that these perfect shapes can be simplified further into a single building block: the starbuilder block! We are still discovering new patterns of construction to build more of these ever fascinating polyhedra(many faces). We need your help!

magnetism
Everyone loves playing with magnets. Why? I don't know, but magnetism combined with the satisfying sound of wood clicking together, and you really only need 2 starbuilder blocks to have a good time.
High powered neodymimium magnets are completely concealed within each block, securely embedded and glued shut so that no magnets are exposed. Maximum safety and maximum asmr.

play
There are over 110 billion possible combinations in the small set of starbuilder blocks! Patterns and symetries will emerge and characters will come to life. try to make geometric solids, build your dream house, or let your imagination go with some free play. We all know the benefits of good play and hands-on toys; personally, play testing is my favorite part of the job. Yes, adults can play too.
Woodwork
Each Starbuilder block is crafted in a small workshop in a barn on a flower farm in Talladega, Alabama. Made from Baltic Birch plywood and neodyminium magnets, Starbulder blocks are indestructable and will 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.
