Wooden Building Blocks, Set of 16 - Billie

Shades of gentle pink with touches of lilac purple, which is what makes the Billie set the one that gets left out on the shelf rather than packed away. Sixteen blocks in a mix of shapes and sizes, enough for a child to build something that takes up the whole rug.

Each piece is cut and painted by hand, so the shapes vary and a tall stack has to be worked out rather than just assembled. Sixteen is the size to choose for a child who has outgrown a small set and wants to make something bigger — towers, arches, a wall with a gate in it. Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired, with nothing to assemble and no instructions to follow.

Materials

Alder hardwood, painted with zero-VOC acrylic in an eggshell finish.

Care

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. A scuff can be eased away by sanding slowly with fine sandpaper. These are not meant for water play — left in water for any length of time, the paint will absorb it.

Made in

Highland, Utah.

Please note

Recommended for ages 2 and up. The smaller blocks are a choking hazard for a child who still puts things in their mouth, so keep the set out of reach of younger brothers and sisters.
