Pinblock® Rethink Creativity
The ultimate creative tool must be both: Simple enough to be easy to use and Complex enough to have no limitations.
The Two Pins
REAL BLOCKS HAVE CURVES
Each Pinblock piece has two rounds pins which act as pivot points that allow your models to bend and turn. Instead of fixed building, bend your models and make them into wearable accessories.
Secure Fit
FOR STURDY BUILDING
In order to ensure precision, quality, and safety, each Pinblock piece is manufactured from the highest grade of ABS plastic. Such precision allows every block to form a secure connection making your models sturdy and your mind worry-free.
the Freestyle sets
Perfect way to let your imagination out into the real world
The Freestyle sets are most exemplary of our goal to inspire creative building since they come with the most blocks and without a restricting manual to rely on.
There are four themes to choose from: Metallic, Nature, Rainbow, and Pastel.
Each theme comes with 5 unique colors that are appropriate for a particular building agenda.
See examples of what other Pinblock builders have achieved with each theme on the relevant product pages and decide which theme would suite your child best. Even better, let your little builder decide, you'll never know what can spark their imagination.
Note:
Don't assume that the absence of a manual makes the Freestyle sets unfit for first time builders. Children's imagination is yet to be bound, therefore you'll see them get the hang of it without any direction. If that is still insufficient, head on over to our "tutorials" for a quick start and examples to get the creative juices flowing.

A fun building block toy that is unique in its simplicity
By M. Erb #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE VOICE
When I was a kid, Lego building blocks were one of my favorite toys. In the tradition of Lego but quite different in many ways, these Pinblock building pieces are fun to play with. What makes these unique is that there is just one type of piece. That one piece comes in many different colors. Depending on what you are building, the unique shape and size of the pinblock enables you to make a creation that could wrap around your wrist, for instance. [continue reading here]
Move over Lego, there's a new block in town!
By BJ Tomikoon
I have Color Theme 1, 2, and 3, but this one is my favorite so I'm posting my review here. Really they're all great, but I just like the darker colors best. Pinblocks are a ton of fun. I had a group of friends over yesterday (we're all in our 30s and most of us engineers) and I set trays of these Pinblocks out on my table and everyone just dove in right away creating all kinds of stuff. We lost track of time just chatting and building interesting things for a couple hours. They were a major hit. [continue reading here]
Are your kids more creative than you are? Time to ditch Lego!
By Nataliya Smolyanska
How is this not bigger than LEGO? -The Back Story-
I stumbled upon Pinblock’s Instagram page and that’s where my story began. Perfect coincidence because I was about to visit a friend who has a daughter and a son.
Prime shipping and 2 days later I got a pretty box at my doorstep.
The packaging looked impressive and I thought it would be a cool gift for the kids to explore. There’s nothing exciting left about yet another Barbie gift for the girl and a LEGO gift for the boy. If all else fails, at least it’s something new and original. [continue reading here]
Pinblocks rule!
By J9
Got these wit Pinblocks Color Theme 4 for our daughter. She loves Legos and other building things. Reviewed Theme 4 as well. Awesome gift to give to kids who love to create. We've made crowns, bridges, buildings, and more. The way you can easily put them together and then twist the angle to create things is brilliant. We got 2 boxes and regularly use them all when we are in a building mood. You'll be the big hit of the party if you get any Pinblock set for a kid. ... [continue reading here]
Loving these little builders!
Amazon Customer
We purchased these for our daughter for Christmas. She loves them! They were a bit smaller than I expected, but that is my fault because I didn't look at the measurement on them. It doesn't matter anyway, because she has been having a blast playing with them. She is the type of kid that normally tires of something quickly, but that has not happened with these. She has had them out many times since she got them creating all different types of things. We got her not just this kit, but several single-color boxes as well [continue reading here]
Advantages Over Legos for Both Kids AND Adults
Tinfoot TOP 50 REVIEWER
Just grab the next piece, and go. No flow-of-creation interruption (and often, frustration). They ARE rather small, though. However, the flat, narrower sizing is **very** kind to bare adult feet while laying on their side, quite unlike Legos, no matter how they lay on the deck. YOUCH!! So advantages for both kids and parents. ;) [continue reading here]
One of the best toys ever produced.
By sauzee
As a creative mind growing up, I always felt limited by the building toys out there that never really catered to true creativity.I noticed later on that there were no building-block toys out there that allowed the user to make useful, or wearable objects either. There were only putties, mold-able foams, and doughs that ever even allowed things like bracelets, or pictures to be made.
But with these Pinblocks, these glorious Pinblocks, All these shortcomings are thrown out the window.

Excellent Blocks
Devin Stephens HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER
My GF and I have already started our Christmas shopping and we are trying to find toys that are fun yet educational... We saw these on YouTube and thought the idea was very interesting so we decided to grab a few boxes for one of her sisters kids that we have to get a present for and one for us to open and just inspect to make sure it would be a good gift.... He is into stuff like this and we thought this would give him a little more creativity than regular Legos.. What brought our attention to this is that it is ONE SINGLE BLOCK.. This leaves your imagination open for endless possibilities!!

A Great Set for Kids
Lady Lilith
This set of pinblokcs are amazing. In addition to all the fun and creativity, this set offers, it also comes win an instruction booklet. Using a series of illustrations, the kids can create the creation of their choice.
The instructions are nice to follow. A few steps require the kids to stop and think about what they are doing which is nice. Kids do need a challenge from time to time. This set gives then a fun challenge they can work with.
I also like the open ended process this provides. There are no rules and very little that can get in the way of creativity.
