Kid's Blocks

Blocks are a timeless, classic toy that appeals to a wide variety of ages and interests. We carry blocks from many manufacturers including Haba, Beka, Melissa & Doug, and many others. When shopping for play blocks, consider material, color, and purpose. Wooden blocks are most traditional, but some prefer lighter weight synthetic materials, such as foam or plastic. If you choose wooden blocks, look for those made in the USA of beech or maple, or those made of rubberwood, a sustainably harvested tropical wood. Some block sets have fun designs that match a theme, such as a city scape or a train. These sets can still be played with in almost any fashion, but have a special appeal because of their whimsy. Unit blocks are designed such that all blocks are perfectly related to each other in precise units. Unit blocks are often used for teaching early math skills and relationships, but their symmetry also makes them great building materials. Whatever your preferences, blocks are toys that have a universal appeal and that all children will enjoy for many years.
