Ten graduated wooden blocks in ten colors, the classic Cuisenaire-rod concept rendered in Bauspiel's substantial, heirloom-grade alder. Children build the rainbow staircase, count by tens, line up sizes from one to ten, or combine the blocks with other Bauspiel pieces for color-coded architectural play. The Stepped Blocks are the math set educators reach for when they want the abstraction of number concepts to live in something a child can hold. Magnitude, sequence, fraction, addition, all visible as a physical staircase on the table. Educator notes: The classroom math manipulative that also passes as a beautiful object on the shelf. Pairs naturally with the Bauspiel Color Track, Lucent Cubes, and other architectural blocks for combined number-and-architecture play. Specs: 10 wooden stepped blocks in 10 colors. Handcrafted in Germany by Bauspiel from sustainably sourced alder, finished with natural oil. Ages 3+.
