Our Special Shapes Collection extends our use of the traditional 1-3/8" x 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" unit as the foundation for block play to sets with a variety of less common shapes, including triangles, curves, and blocks that naturally "fit together".   We combine a wide range of block sizes and shapes in these sets, and add some uniquely Beka ideas for even more fun.  As always, each assortment provides a wide range of building options to the children using them.  Choose individual sets or combine multiple sets for even more creative opportunities. 

As block play enthusiasts, we give ourselves permission to experiment with unconventional ideas....like adding wooden wheels (or maybe they’re legs, or arms, or wings...) to traditional block shapes.  The results are our Block Buddies and "Whimsies", or whimsical wheeled blocks.  They become cars, bugs, friendly animals and more.  We named each "Whimsie" after their traditional block shape name.  Needless to say, we had fun in the process.  We hope you have fun, too!

Meet our Whimsies:  Gary Gothic, Larry Large, Roman Archie, Sally Circle, Timmy Triangle and Katie Pillar.  Request them individually, or get two of our favorites (Sally and Timmy) in our Little Builder & Whimsie 30 pc block set.
