Google Street View With Building Blocks

092909-googlestreetview.jpg It's a well documented fact that we love blocks of all shapes and sizes. So it's no surprise that our love for the little wooden shapes extended itself to cover this ridiculously cute video on how Google Street View really happens! Click through to see the video of this cute little camera as he strolls around town!

 
 
We can hear the kids now... "Who wants to go play Google Street View in my room?" What if all mundane acts were represented in blocks? The world might just be a little brighter and happier place!

Google Maps has a real bad rep in Japan because of privacy reasons, so I'm not surprised they made this cute video to help boost their image. Notice how much of the video is dedicated to showing them adapting the photos for privacy!

Really cute blocks! Just there are no animals in these streets. I have found amazing wooden toys, they could be a good supplement to this block street :) Here they are: http://www.linenkids.com/toys-wooden-toys-c-34_63.html?page=2&sort=20a
