Naturally Finished for a Classic Look
Wooden blocks have been around for centuries and make an excellent tool to teach basic math concepts, organizational skills, sequential skills, and spatial relations. It is no surprise that blocks are found in almost every pre-school and kindergarten classroom. Youngsters become the architect of their own world as they fit pieces together to form their vision. This open-ended play set stimulates creativity and hones basic motor skills.

Each set features a large variety shapes and sizes including arches, columns, squares, rectangles, triangles, cylinders, and circles, as well as basic, half, and double unit blocks. This block set is crafted to the standard unit block size (1-1/2-by-2-by-5-inches) and constructed from Rubberwood, a resilient hardwood. The blocks are big, chunky, and easy for kids to grasp and build with. Smoothly sanded surfaces tantalize fingertips and create a handsome natural aesthetic. Best of all, when the child finishes constructing their masterpiece, all the pieces store neatly into a wooden storage box.

There is no limit to the types of fortresses the child can build with these blocks. This deluxe set even contains pillars, buttresses, gothic circles, and half-circles for advanced architecture. As an added bonus, the storage box doubles as a building platform. Children and parents have fun as they complete projects together. Parents can purchase another set and add to the amusement. An essential for any child's toy box, these blocks are sturdy, durable, and beautiful enough to put on display. The box measures 15-by-12-1/2-by-15-1/4 inches.

Customer Reviews
Great fun, great value!
My two-and-a-half year old grandson can play with these blocks for hours and even enjoy putting them away. The key appears to be the proportions. I know he's registering spatial values as he figures out how to fit them back into the box. I know I'll be purchasing the other sets as well since it's such a fun activity to share with…   More reviews

Blocks: Architecture and Unit block sets
These blocks and the unit blocks are an excellent product, well made. They were a present, but similar ones that our children had were loved and cherished. Buy both sets.   More reviews
$50 for Blocks? Really?
Yes, the blocks are nice.
But $50? Give me a break. Overpriced for what they are.…   More reviews
Good product Overall
Well packaged. fast shipment. It would have been nice if it had been made of Maple (more durable than hardwoods used overseas where the product was made) No false advertizing here just a wish of higher quality
