Details & care
Welcome to HABA's Clever Up! Building System. As children grow, the Clever Up! system grows with them. Start with Clever Up! 1.0 and each consecutive system adds shapes of a higher degree of complexity culminating in the Clever Up! 4.0 set which includes spheres and perforated slats to balance the spheres. Each set includes a double handle fabric storage bag and a full color instructional booklet teaching parents how to help use blocks to build a child's math, geometry and even physics skills. Children use the building blocks to playfully shape the space around them and at the same time begin to grasp the concept of the third dimension. Through constant repetition and trial and error, they also acquire an empirical understanding of the laws of physics.
- DURABLE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR CHILDREN: The ultimate wooden block set! These beautifully crafted wooden blocks are made in Germany from sustainably sourced PEFC certified birch and beech wood. Durably crafted with carefully sanded smooth edges, these blocks will last for generations of imaginative and open-ended play.
- A CLEVER BUILDING SYSTEM: Designed for 12 months and up, this starter set in the Clever Up! Building System has everything needed for young architects to start their first building adventures. The 46 piece set of various blocks includes 24 cubes, 8 panels, and 14 slats. The panels and slats create bridges, ramps, slopes, and floors. The cube is sized 1 3⁄4" x 1 3⁄4" x 1 3⁄4."
- INCLUDES GUIDEBOOK AND STORAGE BAG: The set comes with a cotton bag for easy storage and transport. With the help of the included 40 page educational guidebook, which offers a variety of ideas and construction possibilities, children can start by making simple creations starting with the cube which forms the basic element and is supplemented by plates and strips. Building projects can progress in difficulty, as children test simple mathematical and physical relationships.
- LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS: The building blocks of the HABA building block system Clever-Up! 1.0 are ideal for first building with clear and simple shapes that encourage spatial thinking and early recognition of quantities, while exercising fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and logical thinking. Our blocks for imaginative play are ideal for introducing early math concepts, including parts-to-whole and sorting. All of the Clever Up! systems are compatible.
- GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS: A perfect gift for ages 1 through 8. All of the Clever Up! systems are compatible and interchangeable so additional sets can be added whenever your young builder has mastered your original set and needs an additional challenge making it one of the most versatile kids building toys.

Great quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few days ago for my baby girl who is 9 months old, I can already see how much she loves playing with this! She puts it in her mouth a lot right now but I feel safe knowing that this is a good quality product!

Huge fan of these blocks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these blocks for my 2 yo daughter and she loves them. She likes to stack the blocks, and the best part is when they eventually fall over. I also love them. I play with these alongside by daughter and I have a blast. I also like that they are wood instead of cheap plastic. We have sooooo much plastic in the house and I am really starting to like the transition to wood toys. I also love that my daughter is learning while playing with these.

Handcrafted with perfection.

Nice set of building blocks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both my 5 and 7 year olds, enjoys playing with these building blocks. The shapes are simple, which gives them great inspiration to build whatever they like. My younger child likes to build bridges and see how high he can stack the blocks without it falling. My older child likes to build castles. Set comes with a canvas bag, to house the blocks after usage. Block material is beech. Love that these blocks aren't bulky and requires little space for storage.
