PlanToys 40 Pastel and Natural Blocks These classic wooden building blocks are an essential in any play room or nursery. This 40 block set makes a great starter kit, and includes 6 different shapes, with 18 pastel colour pieces and 22 natural wood blocks. We love wooden building blocks: they're great for fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination, and encourage your child to use their imagination and extend their vocabulary skills. However, your little one will be having far too much fun building tall towers, lookouts, castles, homes and shops to realise how much they are learning through play! These PlanToys 40 unit blocks will be a welcome addition to any Montessori setting, as children use their open-ended nature to use these blocks as kitchen ingredients or tools to aid counting and problem solving. Use them as a set on their own or combine with other block sets to construct bigger and better buildings. This fab wooden block set is made from solid rubberwood, making a it a great ethical gift for a child. Suitable from age 2+. Average unit size is 3.5cm Sensory toy: fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination problem solving Schema: Positioning. Ideal for children who enjoy putting things in order. Connection.

For over 30 years, PlanToys have been making iconic educational toys that bring children closer to nature and inspire creative imaginations and learning through play. Little hands love getting to grips with PlanToys which are just about as eco, sustainable and high quality as toys can be. Everything is ethically made in Thailand from rubber trees that no longer produce latex, non-formaldehyde glue (which PlanToys make themselves), organic colour pigments; and water-colour dyes – and the whole process is carbon-neutral too. As well as making FSC solid wood toys, many products are made from Planwood – an ingenious eco material made by compressing sawdust produced in the Plan Toys factory so that nothing goes to waste. All toys come packaged in recycled, non-toxic packaging which can go straight into your recycling bin.
