Playing With Wooden Stacking Blocks

Here are a few of our favorite things that we experienced while playing with wooden building blocks.

  • They spark imagination and encourage open-ended creative play.
  • We love the pure beauty of these natural wooden blocks, with their smooth rounded corners and durable hardwood frames
  • With no bells and whistles, the simplicity of these geometric wooden blocks has been a welcome distraction from the screen
  • Great for stacking and building while enhancing traditional block play activities
  • As an essential component of group play, they encourage social interaction
  • Sized to standard unit block measurements, they work perfectly with our wooden unit blocks
  • Provide an innovative way for our kids to explore color, with the inset translucent acrylic windows and colorful fillings

Whether indoors or out, a wooden block set gets you exploring!  Their ability to form new shapes and colors each time our children play extends the possibilities even further. Over the years, these wooden stacking toys have provided an enriching and creative play experience for our family.

These wooden building toys have a well-loved place in our home and for many good reasons.

Blocks To Learning

This set of wooden stacking blocks with no “right” way to build has provided our children hours and hours of exploration and discovery. As a staple of childhood play, our kids have learned a variety of skills during their block play. While constructing their many “creations,” they have increased their problem-solving and math skills.

Our daughter likes incorporating the blocks into her imaginative play. As a result, she increases her language development and communication.

While stacking the blocks, our 3-year-old improved his fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The more success he has in stacking the blocks, the more he builds his self-confidence.

Our older son is not only strengthening his engineering skills but is becoming a more creative problem-solver.

Most of all, building with wooden blocks has allowed our kids to become more socially competent. They take turns, share, compromise, and work together. Wooden building blocks have been a welcome addition to our family’s block corner!

Capture your child’s attention and ignite their hunger for exploration. Furthermore, give them the gift of open-ended creative and imaginary play with a set or two of these wooden stacking toys.
