About the Manufacturer
Automoblox Company manufactures a premium wooden toy construction
system based on automobiles. Established in 2003, the company's
partners, businessman Raymond Rega and designer/entrepreneur Patrick
Calello, are filling a niche in the toy market for a play experience
that combines a back-to-basics approach with both design excellence and
educational appeal.
The proliferation of techno-toys and video games often lack
fundamental educational benefits. The Automoblox construction system
was conceived as a vehicle to nurture and encourage creativity in young
minds through problem solving. Automoblox fulfills the need for a toy
system that is appealing to children of all ages and to baby-boomer
parents who seek quality educational toys for their children.
The meticulously engineered Automoblox system is designed for
children ages three and up and combines the warmth of classic, natural
wood and modern materials with advanced car styling. Working closely
with child development psychologists, the Automoblox construction
system uses interchangeable components to create challenge, stimulate
creativity, and develop problem solving skills.
