Hardwood maple building block sets and alphabet blocks. Wooden building blocks teach shapes, manual dexterity, and balance. A must-have for every toy box, choose your favorite wooden building block set.
Now just wait a minute. I know you're looking at these wooden building block sets and wondering what makes them special. What makes them different from all the other toy block sets out there. In a word, quality. Our wooden building blocks are made from hardwood Maple. And not just any Maple. Maple grown and responsibly harvested right here in the good old USA.
So what difference does the wood make? It's easy to find less expensive wooden block sets made from soft, cheaper wood, but those blocks will dent easily, and may not stand up to the rough play that kids can put them through. Some blocks may even splinter or crack over time. Solid Maple wood blocks are also heavier than softer woods. Heavier blocks will stack higher without toppling, and stay in place while children develop the fine motor skills needed for creating intricate structures.
At Sprout Soup, we have also made a commitment to only carry products that are responsibly produced. Our wooden building blocks come from one of the last few wooden toy makers remaining in America today. These wooden building blocks are made by skilled craftspeople who stand behind their product. In fact, they guarantee their woden building blocks for life!
These natural wood, excellent quality, hard Maple building block sets are a must for any toy box. Babies as young as 18 months will love playing with the different shapes, and older children will spend hours building complex structures.
Wooden building blocks develop hand-eye coordination, motor skills, shape recognition and can even teach beginning mathematics concepts! Designed on a 1" scale, the smaller base blocks can be stacked to equal the larger blocks. This feature is useful for teaching fractions and volume, and makes building complex structures possible!
We carry three different sets of blocks, each with an increasing variety of shapes. Each set is sold in a sturdy box. These blocks are all-natural with no toxic finishes. The manufacturer of our wooden toys exceeds the US Consumer Product Safety Commission rules, and also complies with the voluntary standards ASTM F-963.
