wooden play blocks

Wooden building blocks are one of the essential toys for children. Suitable for children from 1 year. They remain an important plaything until about the age of 10 and are one of the best value toys you can buy!

All our wooden play blocks are sanded by hand and have smooth edges. As they are not varnished and they do not easily fall when building. All of the wooden play block sets on this page, except the block puzzle, come in a cotton net bag.

The objects of play should be as simple as possible so that the child can clothe them with her own natural powers of imagination. Francis Edmunds
