Build, Topple, and Nest

From an alligator eating an apple to a zebra and a zipper, these 10 colorful, sturdy, cardboard blocks are fun from A-Z! Each block differs in size and whimsical, colorful illustrations which feature cartoon animals and objects that correspond with the letters of the alphabet. Kids two and up can stack the blocks on top of each other and make a tower nearly three feet tall. They may be stacked by letter, color, or size and may even be knocked down for endless fun. Kids may sometimes prefer to nest the blocks inside one another, since they fit perfectly into each other and even into the convenient carry case with handle, also great for compact storage. These blocks are great for building both creative and developmental skills. They inspire independent and cooperative play, help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, encourage beginning letter and alphabet skills, as well as color and animal recognition, and help develop problem-solving skills, too. These durable cardboard blocks are sure to be favorites for years of creative and playful skill building!
