What it is:
Toy building blocks made from discarded and fallen fruit tree branches.
Why we love it:
These hand-cut branch blocks draw from nature's beauty to create a truly unique building toy. Twenty-two freeform pieces are precisely cut into 2-centimeter increments to serve as a math-learning tool. Sets also include "Y" or forked pieces. The subtle forms promote spatial reasoning, problem solving and motor skills. The Tree Blocks are finished with flax oil and come in a colorful, cotton twill, drawstring sack.
Where to get it:
From
Greenfeet.com for a naturally elegant $27.95.
