The Classic ABC Blocks by Uncle Goose are American made and will remind you of your childhood. Each block has two embossed letters that gives depth and detail. They look like they're carved but are actually pressed into the wood under immense pressure. In addition the blocks have beveled Edges with chamfered edges to eliminate sharp corners and make the blocks more comfortable to hold. The ABC blocks also feature numerals 0 to 9 and math symbols (+ - X, etc.). As children begin to recognize letters they will also learn their numbers. Later on they may use the blocks to form equations just as they are spelling words. The name of each numeral is printed beneath the number so that a child can learn how to spell these words. Each block features a picture of a different animal. Children delight in recognizing the animals on each block. The name of each animal is printed beneath the picture so that a child can learn how to spell these names. The blocks are made from basswood which is grown around the Great Lakes. Basswood is ideal for making blocks because it’s light-weight, light-colored and odor-free. The basswood is farmed for manufacturing on industry owned land. Uncle Goose is committed to environmentally-appropriate manufacturing. This classic set includes 27 blocks providing 4 complete alphabets, 3 sets of numerals, and 27 different animal pictures. You'll also be happy with the non toxic inks that that are tested regularly and always surpass national and international standards on ink safety.
