Viga -- Colourful Blocks 24 pcs Set

24 Transparent Wooden Blocks That Play with Light and Colour — Ages 3 Years+

The Viga Colourful Blocks 24 pcs Set is not your standard wooden block set. Each of the 24 chunky wooden blocks has a transparent acrylic centre in a vivid colour — and when kids hold them up to light, overlay them on each other, or build with them near a window, something genuinely fascinating happens. Colours mix, shadows appear in new hues, and light bends through the shapes in ways that stop a child mid-play and make them look closer. It’s open-ended building with a built-in science lesson baked right in.

What’s in the Box

• 24 wooden blocks with transparent coloured acrylic centres
• 6 different shapes in 4 different colours
• Rectangle measures approx. 10 cm × 5 cm × 2.5 cm; circle diameter approx. 4.9 cm

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Light and colour exploration built into every block: The transparent acrylic centres mean kids naturally discover colour mixing, light diffraction, and shadow play without any instructions needed. Hold a red block and a blue block together — the shadow turns purple. It’s the kind of discovery that sparks genuine curiosity.
• 6 shapes, 4 colours — a symmetrical set that invites patterns: The shape and colour combination is deliberately balanced, making the set ideal for sorting, pattern-making, and symmetrical building alongside freeform construction play.
• Chunky pieces sized for young builders: The blocks are large enough for children from 3 years to handle with confidence — easy to grip, stack, and rearrange without frustration. The size also makes them safe and suitable for younger explorers under supervision.
• Natural wood with a beautiful aesthetic: The rounded wooden edges and rich transparent colours make this a set that looks as good on a shelf as it does spread across the floor. Parents notice it; kids just play with it.
• Open-ended play with no wrong way to use it: Building, sorting, colour matching, light play, pattern-making — the set supports all of it. There are no instructions to follow and no single correct outcome, which means the play evolves as the child does.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• Best played near a light source — a sunny window or light table — to fully experience the colour and diffraction effects.
• Works beautifully on a light table if you have one, though it’s fully engaging without one.
• A standout gift for children who love building, science, or sensory play.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these different from regular wooden blocks?

Each block has a transparent coloured acrylic centre set into a natural wooden frame. When light passes through the acrylic — from a window, a lamp, or a light table — coloured shadows are cast and colours visibly mix where blocks overlap. This turns standard block play into an exploration of light, colour, and refraction that children can discover entirely on their own.

What shapes and colours are included?

The set includes 6 different shapes in 4 different colours, giving 24 blocks total. The combination is deliberately symmetrical, making the set well-suited for sorting and pattern-making alongside free building. Rectangle blocks measure approx. 10 cm × 5 cm × 2.5 cm; circle diameter is approx. 4.9 cm.

Do I need a light table?

No — a sunny window works well. The colour and light effects are visible in natural light, making the set fully engaging without any additional equipment. A light table enhances the experience significantly if you have one, but it’s not required.

Are the materials safe?

Yes — the set is made from high-quality, responsibly sourced materials and complies with both EN71 (European toy safety standard) and ASTM (American standard). The blocks are safe for children from 3 years of age.
