This is the big one. A true Preschool classic from Schylling Toys, the world leader in traditional toys and classic fun. The Big Blocks ABC Alphabet Blocks are 48 1.75-inch solid wood cubes painted and sculpted with letters. It's hours of fun building, creating, and "writing." Regular playtime with them can improve letter identification skills, and illustrate how placing one letter next to another and another can make a word. On two sides of each block the letters are slightly raised and painted in cheerful red, blue, green, or yellow, with a border for emphasis. It is packaged in a beautiful, dove-tail constructed wooden box with a clear slide off lid. This a playroom heirloom destined to be passed down from generation to generation. For ages 19 months+.
