The Toy Blocks Kits on this page are suitable for youngsters
from 2 years to about 3. During these early
years, they are gaining coordination, learning to abstract
features, and using these to distinguish shape names - or maybe
it's vice versa. Eventually, they will learn to stack
blocks: two at first, and then three or more. They are
learning to play cooperatively and the best fun comes from
playing
with them as they will quickly mimic small structures
that you build and learn the words you use to describe them. Gentle supervision will also help them
interact and share with others. They are not usually as interested in the
blocks as you are - instead, they are enjoying the interaction
with an adult and they enjoy praise for little triumphs. They
don't require a very big set of blocks. These blocks are
the same as those in our bigger kits and you can always add more
later from our Booster Kits or Open Stock.
Our "A" Kits are somewhat more
detailed and offer a wider range of pieces. The "B" Kits are
chunkier with somewhat larger pieces. In general, "A" Kits
and "B" Kits are the same size (volume/weight). Our
Building Blocks Kits
come in
Premium Hard Maple (all firsts),
Hard Maple First & Seconds (USA),
and
European Beech.

Pieces" is the definitive list of what is in a kit.
These kits are not recommended for children under the age
of 2 years.
