Unit Blocks help children learn basic number concepts, develop logical thinking and improve motor skills. Building blocks, like many traditional toys, have other educational advantages for a child with ADHD. With building blocks, the number of positive outcomes is limitless, so children can continue playing until they've reached a level of personal satisfaction. The standard unit block is 5-1/2 x 2-3/4 x 1-3/8 inches, (1:2:4 proportions.) All of the other blocks are multiples of these dimensions.
