New York, NY (WFN) -- What has reduced grown men like Donald Trump, Willard Scott and Walter Cronkite to playing with building blocks?

Here's the answer: An art project where kids and adults decorate toy building blocks in an attempt to heal themselves of fears caused by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Each wooden block contributed to the "Rebuilding Hope" project coordinated by New York's School of Visual Arts will become part of a larger sculpture that will be put on display in New York in September.

Spokeswoman Jennifer Drower says the goal is to "symbolically recreate something in response to the disaster."

To get the ball rolling, Trump decorated his block with an ink-drawing of a skyscraper. Meanwhile, Scott drew a stick figure with a happy face and Cronkite drew a self-portrait in black ink.
