E-Blox Makes The Circuit With Mom’s Choice, Academics’ Choice & Nat’l Parenting Center Honors
Toy Judges Impressed As Kids Effortlessly Build Electric Circuitry Powered Blocks With Power Blox Starter And E-Blox Stories – The Cave & The Island
Just last year E-Blox made its debut and quickly captured several recognitions including inclusion into the prestigious 2017 Purdue Engineering Gift Guide. Creative Child Magazine awarded E-Blox three honors: Preferred Choice, Product of the Year and Creative Play of the Year. Whimsical Tillywig gave E-Blox two of its Brain Child Awards.
As one of the toy contests wrote online, “E-Blox are not your ordinary building blocks. Not only can they be used to build creations, they also bring your builds to life!”
The construction toy kits use a patented technology of tin plated blocks that connect electrical component blocks to a battery block enabling youngsters to create 3-dimensional circuits that light whatever they build,with no wires.
The three winning items were:
“E-Blox is a small kit of Lego-compatible building blocks that offers the innovation of providing lights and electric current for projects. Kids learn STEAM skills through building, planning circuits, and playing with their creations. This product offers a unique twist on classic building,and is compatible with most common building sets. It is user friendly, eye-catching, and simple to use.”

The glowing review by The National Parenting Center for its Spring 2018 Seal of Approval begins with“E-Blox Stories-The Cave is an impressive addition to the construction-based toy category breaking new ground by integrating education and reading into the play pattern and reclassifying it as a STREAM product.”
“This is designed to stimulate a child’s imagination and creativity through hands-on tactile play, interactive storytelling, creative reasoning, and the systematic building of objects. You gotta give it to the E-Blox team, they aim high. The assembly manual is very supportive with a step-by-step process for each unique figure. The light up circuits thrilled kids and offered another level of ‘cool’ to this product. Right from the start our testers were drawn in and remained engaged in the variety of ways they could interact with E-Blox. The 3-D circuit creations are easy to build and allow plenty of space for imagination, patience, creativity and concentration. Included is the novelette Earth One, an intriguing story that guides your child through building the various projects. It also contains QR Codes that help search for definitions or pictures of words within the story for greater comprehension. Testers were impressed with how the whole activity is a great collaborative effort from start to finish.”
