Wooden building blocks alder wood

Isaac Newton the apple fell on his head, a child falls the building block from the top of the tower - we understand the laws of physics such as that of gravity best through practical experience. In childhood, this is also called: play.

If play incidentally trains fine motor skills and trains sensory perception, if it promotes cognitive development by stimulating creativity and fires the imagination - the coral fortress of the octopus, a tree house of the elves, the castle of the ice queen! -, then the toy is undoubtedly pedagogically valuable. Because with its help the child learns for life. Building blocks made of solid wood are such a toy.

With great care, these building blocks are made in the workshop of a social therapeutic living community from the solid wood of the native alder. Each building block is individually sawn to size, carved and sanded, and all edges are carefully rounded. The work processes are structured in part very small, so that each employee can contribute to the product according to their skills and strengths, and are executed by hand - therefore no building block is like the other.

Plates, cuboids and cylinder sectors: playfully challenge the almost organically shaped building blocks the constructive ingenuity of your offspring. And since children discover the world with all their senses, these wooden building blocks with their unusual surface design stimulate a particularly differentiated haptic experience: Some of the building blocks still have the original bark of the alder trunk. The bark is firmly attached to the wood, and any loose parts are removed by careful brushing. The varied impressions that the rougher barks convey next to the smoothly ground wood, train the sense of touch of your offspring particularly sustainable.
