Nanoblocks are a big hit in our house. My oldest is an avid Lego fan. So when she saw that Nanoblocks were 1/8th the size of a standard building block, she knew she was up for the challenge.

Nanoblocks Mini Series
A few months ago, we headed to Kinokuniya Bookstore to meet the people behind Nanoblocks: Ohio art. It was great to hear that this father son family owned business has been around for 104 years. Ohio Art is well known for Etch-A-Sketch.
When I saw the different sets available, the teacher in me thought, Nanoblocks are great for school. NY state third graders study World Communities. The “Sites to See” Series includes:
- Taj Mahal
-
Neuschwanstein Castle
- Giant Banyan Tree
- Mont Saint Michel
- Moai Statues
- Sagrada Familia
- Kinkakuju Temple
- Kaminarimon
- Eiffel Tower
Nanoblocks is the fastest growing construction item in Japan. I’m sure that it will be popular in the US too. Astra (American Specialty Toy Retailing Association) has named Nanoblock new toy construction of the year.
Nanoblocks Mini Series
I like the affordable prices. $16.99 for a Sites to See set and $8.99 for the mini series animals. The age range for Nanoblocks is 8 and up.

My favorite quote from the day: “The bigger you get, the smaller your blocks should be.”
Wouldn’t the Nanoblocks make a great stocking stuffer this holiday season?
I was not compensated for this post. I did receive a Nanoblock gift bag with Ohio Art favorites like Etch-A-Sketch and Air Pick.
Oh, they’re so tiny! They look like something my older nephews will like. My 2 yr old will have to stick to the Duplo blocks for now. 🙂
Wow, those are small! It looks like something that would get lost easily……but maybe in a house with a very clean child it would be lots of fun 🙂
Looks like something my son would love!
How cute are these little creations!!! But I don’t think my lil’ mini me will eat them lol!
Very cool! I think the “Sites to See” would be a fun way to teach children too.
My oldest plays with them while the baby is napping or at the dining room table on a cookie sheet with an edge so that the pieces stay together.
These are so cool. I bet my son would love these!
LOOKS COOL! I never heard of this product! 🙂
My nephew is absolutely obsessed with legos so these might just be the perfect alternative for Christmas this year. I’ve never seen these so I must look next time I’m in the toy store.
These are such a neat gift idea!
