These wooden building blocks are brightly coloured and each side of the block is painted or stamped with either letters of the alphabet, numbers, animals or pictures. Small and light enough for small hands they will encourage co-ordination and early learning in a fun way. The building blocks have various shapes affixed to the top with a corresponding cut out section in the relevant block so they can be stacked together in a tower but only in a certain way. These blocks are great at keeping young toddlers entertained and develop and improve their problem solving, numeracy and colour and shape recognition.
