Drawing blocks are a universal toy designed for children and adults. They are cubic wooden blocks with applied graphics, allowing patterns to be arranged both in one plane (2D) and in space (3D). The graphics are a set of 6 patterns forming a single line – broken, curved or straight – on the block. The blocks can be used to create letters of the alphabet, the graphical course of streets in a city, patterns, and images, thanks to the different patterns placed on the individual walls. The drawing blocks, thanks to the simplicity of their cubic shape and the minimisation of the number of graphic patterns on the walls, combine the possibility of drawing two-dimensional images and building three-dimensional structures, which is unprecedented among many types of blocks available on the market. The continuity of the broken, curved, or straight line that forms the pattern on the walls is also the distinguishing feature of this product. This offers the imagination a stimulating impression of the intersection of the entire volume of the block with invisible simple solids such as a cylinder, a sphere, or a cube, where the lines of intersection of these solids with the blocks create the graphic patterns mentioned in the description.
