Wooden Building Blocks, Set of 24 - Natural

Twenty-four blocks is the size to buy when more than one child is building, or when one child has outgrown a smaller set and keeps running out of pieces. It is the largest set in the range, and the difference shows: there is enough here for two children to work on the same structure without fighting over the big flat piece.

The wood is Alder and Birch, left unfinished and unpainted, so what gets handled is the grain and the weight of the timber itself. Blocks range from 1.5 to 3 inches in width and height, and each is cut by hand, so the shapes vary and balancing them is a real problem rather than a snap-together one. Nothing is sealed or coated. Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired, and the set most likely to still be in the house in ten years.

Materials

Alder and Birch woods, unfinished and unpainted.

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.

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.
