The Eduklocki Method — Learning Through Play with Building Blocks
The Eduklocki Method — Learning Through Play with Building Blocks
The Eduklocki Method is an original pedagogical approach developed by Tomasz Palasz, founder of klocki.edu.pl. Evaluated by the Polish Centre for Education Development (ORE) with a score of 81.33 out of 90 and incorporated into the national curriculum programme "Za kwadrans osma." Used in over 2,500 kindergartens and schools across Poland.
How the Eduklocki Method Was Born
Since 2007 — when I started selling building blocks on Allegro — I kept asking myself one question: why do children abandon some toys after five minutes, yet spend an hour with others?
Over more than a decade, we supplied thousands of kindergartens and schools. From conversations with teachers, parent feedback and our own experience, a clear pattern emerged: no single type of building block develops a child comprehensively. Magnetic blocks teach spatial thinking. Construction blocks teach planning. Spherical blocks exercise the entire hand. Educational blocks combine play with learning.
In 2018, I formalised this into a system. The Eduklocki Method — four pillars, four types of blocks, one goal: comprehensive child development from ages 3 to 10.
Four Pillars
WABI
Magnetic (solid beech wood)
3D spatial thinking. Children build intuitively — Dynamic Magnet® magnets always attract. Ages 3+.
Morphun
Construction (rotating connectors)
Planning and sequences. Activity cards for learning letters and numbers. Over 100 awards. Ages 4+.
Loowi
Spherical (press-fit)
Whole-hand motor skills. The only spherical building blocks. Winner of the "Child-Friendly World" award. Ages 3+.
Little Architect
Educational (picture building)
Learning letters, numbers and shapes through building. Children learn to write without realising they are learning. Ages 3+.
The Three-Station Model
In kindergartens, the three-station model works best: magnetic (WABI), construction (Meli/Morphun) and sensory. A group of 20–25 children rotates every 15 minutes. No arguments over blocks, because each station offers a completely different type of play.
Each type of block develops something different — and together they develop the child from fine motor skills to abstract thinking. This is not a printable lesson plan. It is a way of thinking about play.

The Creator
For 18 years I have been running klocki.edu.pl from Czestochowa, Poland. Over 2,500 kindergartens and schools supplied, nearly 150,000 retail orders fulfilled. I import products directly from dozens of leading manufacturers worldwide. I have introduced over 30 unique educational toy brands to the Polish market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Eduklocki Method?
An original pedagogical approach developed by Tomasz Palasz, founder of klocki.edu.pl. It is based on four types of building blocks — magnetic (WABI), construction (Morphun), spherical (Loowi) and educational (Little Architect) — which together develop the child comprehensively: from motor skills to abstract thinking.
Who evaluated the Eduklocki Method?
The Centre for Education Development (ORE) — a national institution under the Polish Ministry of Education. The method received 81.33 out of 90 possible points and was incorporated into the "Za kwadrans osma" curriculum programme.
What age range is the Eduklocki Method for?
Children aged 3 to 10. In kindergartens, it is most commonly used with groups aged 3–6. In schools — grades 1–3 (ages 7–10). The three-station model allows a group of 20–25 children to play simultaneously.
How do I introduce the Eduklocki Method in my kindergarten?
Minimum: 3 stations with 200–300 pieces each (magnetic + construction + sensory). Rotation every 15 minutes. Classroom setup cost from 400 PLN. VAT invoice with 14-day payment terms. Free consultation: +48 730 730 082 or zamowienia@klocki.edu.pl.
How many institutions use the Eduklocki Method?
Over 2,500 kindergartens, schools and educational institutions across Poland have ordered block sets to implement the Eduklocki Method over 18 years of klocki.edu.pl's operation.
