square blocks

Six-sided building toys

Square blocks are children's building toys—wooden or plastic cubes used for stacking and construction play.

The term sometimes appears in developmental contexts, as playing with blocks helps children learn spatial reasoning and motor skills: The toddler knocked down her tower of square blocks.
