Gift Idea: ABC Blocks

ABC_Blocks_1

ABC Blocks remind me of my child­hood. Do you remem­ber let­ter blocks? I remem­ber play­ing with them & watch­ing my brother make cre­ations out of his. I think he was build­ing ABC block cas­tles & tow­ers. If you ask me this set com­bines things that any kid can love. The abil­ity to stack, use your imag­i­na­tion, and a wagon. A wagon is a pretty big deal to any kid, oh the adven­tures they could have trav­el­ing the house with their blocks. You could also maybe get preschool­ers to help spell out their names or sim­ple words with you. Make it a game.

Gorgeous! I think kids need toys that do not DO things. How are they supposed to use their imagination if the toy does it all. You can’t get more classic than ABC blocks!

I have always loved wooden toys. I think they are so sweet; almost old-fashioned. Those blocks are great!

ABC definitely remind me of my childhood. It, also, reminds me of Faith when she sings them all day. giggles

That is a cute set! They say blocks help children with letter and word recognition, even when all they do is build and destroy towers.

my little one still plays blocks – well, guess what – my 8 year old will still play with them!

This takes me back. We used to play with these when we would visit my Great-Grandmother. She was born in 1901. Some toys really do stand the test of time.
