Object from my childhood that interested and influenced me

I remember my dad gave me wooden blocks toys. It's somewhat similar to the picture attached where I can build and make something. I think I can still "feel" the shape and the texture in my hand. I enjoy the process of building something. It's probably not always come up as I was planning but it's still interesting.

Today, I got my bachelor degree in architectural engineering but never really practice it. As a mom, I enjoy going to art fairs, museums and travel to new places. Sometimes, I have a burst of ideas ( need to write it down quickly). I enjoy putting together creative programs and I still play with wooden blocks I bought for my daughter.
