Scientists have spoken: building blocks are officially cool again. Turns out, stacking colorful cubes isn’t just fun—it’s basically brain yoga. Whether you're constructing a castle or just procrastinating creatively, blocks are the unsung heroes of intelligence, imagination, and avoiding actual responsibilities. Read more…
Turns out, building blocks are having a midlife renaissance. Once confined to sticky-fingered toddlers, they’re now the darlings of cognitive science and office icebreakers. Researchers say stacking plastic bricks improves focus, creativity, and your ability to pretend you're being productive. So go ahead—build that tiny fortress. It’s basically self-care. Read more…
In a stunning display of engineering and stubborn optimism, a team of Australians has built a fully functional boat entirely out of building blocks.
