Product Description

50 unfinished, wooden blocks by Camden Rose make up this all-time classic. It is a great educational toy. Wooden blocks have traditionally served as the building blocks of children's creativity. Kids can build castles, forts, roads, just about anything they can dream up. When used during cooperative play, they are good for developing social skills like sharing, taking turns, and building strategies together. They are good for learning how to count and a number of other educational activities. Parents and teachers have been known to help children understand physical dimensions by demonstrating width, length, and height through the blocks. Enterprising educators use the open-ended wooden blocks to help demonstrate mathematical problems such as additions, subtractions, and even fractions.

Benefits

In addition to helping develop kids' imagination, research finds that playing with toy blocks have a strong link to literacy development. A recent study reported in the October 2007 issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine shows a strong association between playing with building blocks and a significant increase in language scores in young children. On average, kids who played with blocks scored 15 percent higher on their language assessment than those who did not. Researchers speculate that such a measurable increase is partly due to creative block play replacing other time spent in activities that do not encourage language development, such as watching television. They also maintain that child and parent playing together remains the strongest way of promoting children's development.

Made Of / Made In

These unfinished wooden blocks by Camden Rose are made of birch wood. They are proudly made in the USA using organized sustainability programs. They come in an all-cotton muslin storage bag.

*****

I've been looking for unfinished blocks that had less than 50 units in them (less to put away) and these fit the bill. It's amazing how often my 2+ year old daughter plays with these simple wooden blocks. We bring it with us on play dates and the other kids like them as well. Great price too!
