WOODEN NURSERY BLOCKS


TJ Whitneys Wooden Nursery Blocks are officially back in stock! One of my very favorite Chick Pea items. Handmade and handpainted with nostalgic, whimsical images that your child will be sure to love for many years to come.
I always find that the most simple of toys are the ones that withstand the test of time. Wooden blocks at age 2 can be piled high and knocked down, at age 3 they start to build simple castles with them, at age 4 they start to learn the alphabet and start reciting what the letters and images are, at age 5 they begin to create words with them and build bigger towers only to be knocked down and a new game or pattern begun again. I have found that so many of the plastic toys that light up and make sounds and do fancy things are the ones that Koby never touches again after a few times of play. Where as the ones that have stuck around for more than 4 years now and are still as solid as they were are the ones made from wood that requires them to use their imagination..................I feel so much happier about investing in a toy that will be used time and time again, enjoyed in so many different ways that can be passed down again and again to other little ones in our life.
