Kickstart some cool play with mighty awesome Olliblock block sets

If you love the idea of toys that represent kids of all sorts, we think you'll dig the way one of our favorite indie companies is Kickstarting some even more fun mix-and-match block sets. And the higher-level rewards might just blow you away.

[this post has been updated for 2021]

Our pals at Caravan Shoppe have funded a successful Kickstarter for special edition Olliblocks handmade blocks. But with those limited edition blocks gone, you can make your own, thanks to Olliblocks printables.

Don't be intimidated by cutting and pasting your own blocks!  There are so many cute options available for just $10-$12 a set with themes like zoo animals, careers, mermaids/men, and even a fun Christmas set perfect for an affordable Christmas gift for kids under $15 -- one of our favorite categories to track down for you each year.

One of our favorite things about Mixmates is that they represent a wide range of skin and hair tones and facial expressions. And if your kids loves animals, you can have those, too. Blocks as different and quirky as our kids? SOLD. Er, we mean, KICKSTARTED. Check out the sets of Olliblocks at Caravan Shoppe now for lots of  cool mix and match block sets.
