Mini Materials 1:12 Scale Mini Cinder Block Pallet
How small is Mini Materials' Mini Cinder Block Pallet? The 1:12 construction pieces measure 1.3" x 0.66" x 0.66" each, and you'll get 24 cinder blocks, plus their wooden pallet coaster in the set. So, small enough to hold in your hand. Small enough to display and tinker with on your desktop. Small enough to stuff in your favorite kid's or builder's stocking.
Not to mention realistic enough that you can tell the kid Santa shrunk a full-size cinder block pallet just for him. (If he's gullible, you can tell the builder that too.)
Mini Materials handmakes all Mini Cinder Blocks from their Florida workshop, and from real cement. The pallets consist of American pine, secured with miniature nails. A refreshingly low-tech and unique creation (I'd even go so far as to call the little blocks adorable) the Mini Cinder Block Pallet will likely be a gift your giftee will never forget, and you as gifter never forgotten for giving.
Click here to head over to Mini Materials and begin your Mini Cinder Block Pallet holiday shopping. Mini Materials also has 1:12 scale versions of a variety of other construction products, including red bricks, breeze blocks, and lumber, in their collection.
