Wooden Building Blocks, Set of 16 - Midnight

Tip sixteen blocks onto the rug and you have a morning's work ahead of you — towers, bridges, walls, and a balancing act that falls over and gets rebuilt taller. The Midnight set runs dark and quiet, which is what makes it the set that can live in a shared sitting room rather than being tidied away. It reads as an object, not as a spill from the toy box.

Every block is cut and painted by hand, so the shapes vary and no two pieces are quite alike. That unevenness is the point: it is what makes stacking them a real problem to solve rather than a snap-together kit. There is nothing to assemble, no instructions and no right answer, which is why a set like this gets played with for years rather than weeks. Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired, and sixteen pieces is enough for a child to build something ambitious without help.

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.
