Wooden Building Blocks, Set of 16 - Matte Rainbow

A rainbow set without the gloss. The Matte Rainbow blocks carry full colour in an eggshell finish, so they photograph softly and sit well in a room you have put some thought into — all the appeal of a rainbow toy and none of the plastic shine.

Sixteen blocks in a mix of shapes and sizes give a child room to build properly rather than just stack. They are cut and painted by hand, so the pieces vary and the balancing is a genuine problem to work out. Expect them to be sorted by colour as often as they are built with, which is half of what they are for. Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired, and nothing in the box needs assembling.

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.
