Beni Blocks
Maker Faire Bay Area 2025
September 26th-28th
Beni Blocks are a LEGO-adjacent creative building toy for kids and kids-at-heart!
Each block is a 1mm flat sheet with 1cm deep grooves, which can slot into other blocks. They can be made out of many materials and in any shape.
You can make blocks out of recycled junk from home (toilet paper rolls, cardboard boxes, business cards, metal cans...), 3D print your own blocks, or laser cut or CNC them.
They are a cheap, open source platform for playful engineering :D
