Wood Block Platinum Set

This larger collection of toy building blocks is perfect for families with multiple children or for building very elaborate wood block structures. These wood building blocks are a uniquely green product! The blocks are handmade whenever possible from recycled wood materials salvaged from local wood mills and cabinet shops here in the Pacific Northwest. Wood types used for these block sets include alder, maple, oak, cherry, beech and other wood species. The most commonly used wood types are alder and poplar, common but beautiful deciduous hardwood cousins of birch that are harvested in quantity in North America using sustainable forestry. Each block is sawn from wood scraps and individually hand sanded on all surfaces, corners and edges to make sure that they are free from splinters and jagged edges. Absolutely NO PAINT, NO STAIN, NO VARNISH, NO LACQUER or any other sort of finish are used on these toy building blocks. The combination of unfinished natural wood and smooth finish makes them safe for children of all ages.

The different size ratios of these blocks have been specifically designed to make them very easy to stack and build towers, houses, castles, bridges, or whatever your child can imagine. These blocks are not only fun for your child, but they are also educational. The basic geometric shapes of the blocks will stimulate the minds of young children helping to teach them to discover, imagine, problem solve and create their own world! Try getting those results from a video game!!

• Environmentally Sensitive - We produce virtually all of our blocks using pieces of premium "finish grade" hardwoods that are a byproduct of normal cabinet making and which would normally be thrown away or burned as scrap wood.

• Child Safe - Our wood blocks are hand sanded smooth on all sides and edges to eliminate any splinters, jagged edges or rough areas. And no paints, stains, varnishes, lacquers or any other type of finish are used. Totally natural wood. If you want to have your blocks finished, we suggest you consider using a completely organic beeswax and olive oil paste which you and your children can rub onto the blocks to seal and finish them.

• Expandable Set - As your child's skills grow you can expand this set of building blocks by adding more of any of the individual shapes plus other special shapes available in sets of five blocks. Click here for more information.

• 100% American Made - all parts used in the construction of these wood blocks are made from American hardwood and all wood blocks are 100% made in America.

If you're looking for a great, hand made "retro" toy made from natural wood and produced in an environmentally friendly way, you need look no further than one of our wood block sets. Makes a great gift for those nieces, nephews and grandchildren on your gift list, too.
