A completely revolutionary toy has been developed by David Merrill, a grad student from MIT: little cookie sized blocks, that you can stack, shuffle, switch around, play as they allow you to interact with words, numbers, objects or even musical instruments.These blocks are actually tiny computers that constantly aware of each other’s presence, so as you put the numbers in a line – the last block would display you their sum. If you take some Siftables that are configured as paint cans -you can pretend to pour paint from block to another, creating new mixtures of colors.
