Wooden Building Blocks, Set of 16 - Terra

The Terra set brings warm, earthy colour into the room without shouting about it, which makes it easy to leave out on a shelf between games. Sixteen blocks in a mix of shapes and sizes give a child enough to work with for a proper build — a tower taller than they are, a wall, a bridge with something balanced on top.

Each one is cut and painted by hand in a small Utah wood shop, so the pieces are not identical and the stacking takes real attention. That is what keeps them interesting as a child gets older: the same sixteen blocks that were a toddler's stacking toy become a six-year-old's architecture. Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired, with no instructions and nothing to put together.

Materials

Hardwood, painted with 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.
