Building Blocks

Wooden building blocks are the ultimate open-ended toy. Your little one can use them to create castles, cities, and forests. They set the stage for your little one’s imaginary adventures! 

Stacking and building with blocks helps your child practice their imagination and creativity. It also promotes the development of fine motor skills, spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and more.

Nesting and Stacking Blocks

Stacking and Nesting blocks are a great tool to help your child learn spatial awareness, balance, and fine motor skills. Your child will have to learn how objects fit together based on size, how to stack, and why their ideas do or don’t work.

FAQs:

What are the benefits of wooden blocks for kids?

The benefits of playing with wooden building blocks include boosting cognitive development and fine motor skills. Playing with wooden building blocks encourages children to test the limits of their creativity, as well as problem solving skills. For younger children, stacking blocks will develop their fine motor skills as they try to balance blocks on top of each other.

Are wooden blocks safe for toddlers?

All the wooden toys in the Hazel & Fawn collection are constructed with all natural materials, and free of harmful chemicals, making them safe for toddlers. When choosing a playset, be sure to check if it contains small parts that could fit in your toddler’s mouth, as small parts can be choking hazards.

At what age should my child start using wooden blocks?

Any little one that can pick objects up and place them at will are ready for their first wood building blocks set. Our curated selection of children’s toy blocks include building sets suitable for older kids (and even adults!) as well as some infant toy block sets.

How can I clean wooden blocks?

To disinfect your wooden toy blocks, wipe down the blocks using white vinegar diluted with water. For those dirtier toy building blocks, wash them with warm soapy water before disinfecting.
