Korko cork blocks: sustainable building with cork
Cork is an exceptional building material for children's hands: light, warm, non-slip and completely quiet. The blocks by Korko make use of these qualities – here you will learn what sets them apart and which set suits your family.
Why cork?
Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak, which grows back – the tree stays standing. For play, the material means above all one thing: the blocks are very light yet grippy enough for tall towers to hold. If a structure falls over, no one gets hurt and there is no clatter. Similar arguments speak for wooden toys – cork complements them perfectly.
Building without instructions
Korko sets come without a template: your child decides whether a tower, a bridge or a whole city takes shape. Exactly this open-ended play fosters imagination, spatial thinking and perseverance – and works just as well alone as in pairs.
Which set suits your family?
- Small Architects with 20 blocks: the handy entry point – ideal for the littlest ones and as an add-on for travel.
- Tall Architects with 40 blocks: more shapes for taller and more complex structures.
- Giant Architects with 60 blocks: for sprawling landscapes and building together with siblings.
All sizes can be combined freely – so you can start small and expand later.
Durable and sustainable
The blocks are robust and survive intensive building phases – a toy that lasts for years and can be passed on. Cork is also antistatic and easy to wipe clean.
Combines beautifully
Cork blocks play wonderfully alongside other building material: as a foundation for magnetic tiles, as a mountain for the marble run or as a town for play figures. New combinations keep emerging.
