alphabet blocks
I recently bought Spice a lovely set of alphabet blocks from Uncle Goose ($32). These blocks are just gorgeous and would make an excellent baby shower gift. Uncle Goose only makes blocks and their sustainable Michigan basswood blocks meet U.S. and European safety standards and are made with non-toxic inks.
Each block is 1-3/4 inches square, and the sides vary in their designs: two embossed sides per block, letters, numbers & numeral names, and animal pictures with their names. They’re light but solid and feel sturdy, and I can imagine passing them down to other kids in the future.
As if that wasn’t cool enough, Uncle Goose also makes Braille blocks, Nursery Rhyme blocks, and foreign language blocks for languages such as Russian, Danish, Arabic and Chinese.
