THE BEST BLOCKS

by 



Paul&Paul blog: the best blocks

If you have children you definitely have a least one set of blocks. The classic toy...

The toy that lasts forever and that babies, toddlers and also older children can play with!

It is a good gift as well... like I said - a classic. A lovely set of wooden blocks...

We are in 2014 and there are many different versions. For design lovers, traditional sets, advanced, colourful and and and... here is a selection, my favourite blocks:

1. Art meets science in this set of nesting hand-painted blocks that use leverage and counterbalance to build clever modular structures that adapt to and inspire any builder's imagination, from a toddler's to an architect's.

2. Mini cubes. Create lots of fun houses, animals and and and...

3. Classic set to learn numbers, colours and animals.

4. A doll house made of wooden blocks. With lots of great colours and different shapes.

5. Eight angles and a cube create sophisticated constructions with piers, columns and supports. Angular {also from Naef} is a game with the right angle and colours.

6. Classic set of building blocks in easy to see colours - even babies will love it.

7. Wooden cubes with the numbers 0-9 for the design lover {and their parents}.

8. Black & White blocks from NAEF for the advanced block builder. The cube is divided several times in adherence to the golden ratio and surrounded by black shapes. During play, these become foundations, walls or roofs and a player the architect. {forgot to add the number above}

1. Wooden blocks with a little cart. Perfect to keep them all in place. 28 hand painted wooden blocks. One side features a very lovely racoon. the other sides have letters and numbers for some good fun and educational play.

2. Classic and colourful building blocks from Grimms.

3. The facemaker. One of our favourites and we especially like the mini version because we take it along when travelling or going out for dinner... make faces with the blocks, its so much fun for everyone!

4. Pyramid maths blocks. As they stack and sort the blocks of varying heights, younger children learn early math concepts such same and different, smaller and bigger.
With the same set of 100 blocks, older children can be playfully introduced to mathematical concepts from addition, subtraction, and multiplication to counting by multiples, proportion, sequencing, and decimals fractions.

5. From famous German wooden toy maker Anker and for older kids because the pieces are relatively small but that also means you can build lots of fun things and I also know this is a big hit with parents, grand parents, oncles...

6. Another classic and for all ages. Wooden planks to build anything your creativity allows...

7. Definitely nice to look at and also a little different - those blocks need to be balanced to build.

8. Ant blocks. Trails of ants connect on all six sides of these sixteen blocks, forming never-ending patterns for your kids to explore. Each set contains images of ant hills, a queen with her eggs, and a spider, the ant’s nemesis.
