A building block system comprising:
- a first block composed of a wood material, the first block having:
- a first body forming four sides and a first cavity disposed within the first body, the first body having a first overall thickness;
- and
- a first plurality of connectors integral with and protruding from a first top wall of the first body, wherein a first height of the first cavity is less than a thickness of the first top wall,
- a second block composed of the wood material, the second block having:
- a second body forming four sides and a second cavity disposed within the second cavity, the second body having a second overall thickness that is substantially the same as the first overall thickness;
- and
- a second plurality of connectors integral with and protruding from a second top wall of the second body, wherein a second height of the second cavity is greater than a thickness of the second top wall;
- and
- a third block composed of the wood material, the third block having:
- a third body forming four sides, the third body having a third overall thickness that is substantially the same as the first overall thickness and the third body forming a solid structure that is devoid of a cavity;
- and
- a third plurality of connectors integral with and protruding from a third top wall of the third body;
- and
- wherein the first plurality of connectors are configured to engage and lock with the second cavity, the second plurality of connectors are configured to engage and lock with the first cavity, and the third plurality of connectors are configured to engage and lock with the first cavity and the second cavity.
