We’ve talked about why simple toys make smarter kids and wooden blocks are a prime example. They’re unfussy in nature, yet infinitely imaginative — a truly timeless toy. This particular iteration from Uncle Goose can be used for stacking, spelling, sorting, and so much more. Plus, each block is printed with non-toxic, lead-free child safe inks, so you’ll have one less thing to worry about.
Every set of Uncle Goose wooden blocks is handcrafted in Grand Rapids, Michigan of fast-growing sustainable basswood. A set contains all the letters of the alphabet, plus a variety of animals, numbers, and symbols for even more fun. Uncle Goose is committed to the heirloom quality of their products, so if you lose a few letters over years and years of use, replacement pieces can easily (and affordably) be purchased on their website.
These blocks have become such a universally applicable toy, that you’ll now find them available in 21 different languages and for purchase on 6 of the 7 continents! Clearly, smart and sustainable is a winning recipe.
