At 1 3/4 square; this standard set of 28 ABC blocks are the largest embossed blocks made today. Patterned after blocks from the turn of the century; the set is finely crafted and colorfully painted with non-toxic inks. Each block features a unique animal picture; a number or math symbol; and four letters (two embossed); for a total of four complete alphabets. An all-time classic way to store blocks; the ABC Flyer is actually two toys: a set of 28 ABC blocks and a pull toy. Young children love to pull the wagon around the room; perhaps with a favorite teddy bear or doll on-board. Packaged in a resealable box. Features of the world's best blocks: Embossing What makes Uncle Goose blocks special are the two embossed letters on each block. The embossing process gives depth and detail to each block and appears to be carved. Actually these designs are pressed into the wood under immense pressure. Beveled Edges Uncle Goose chamfers the upright edges of our blocks to eliminate sharp corners and make the blocks more comfortable to hold. Classic Styling Uncle Goose designs are based on the classic ABC blocks made by the Embossing Company of Albany NY, whose founders, the Hyatt brothers, patented the invention of the embossed ABC block. Uncle Goose ABC blocks pay homage to the first set of American alphabet blocks made by the Hyatt brothers (who also invented celluloid which led to the explosion of plastics). Non-Toxic Inks Uncle Goose toys are made from child-safe materials, especially non-toxic inks. Their toys are tested regularly and always surpass national and international standards on ink safety. Numerals The ABC blocks also feature numerals 0 to 9 and math symbols (+ - X, etc.). As children begin to recognize letters they will also learn their numbers. Later on they may use the blocks to form equations just as they are spelling words. Numeral Names Uncle Goose prints the name of each numeral beneath the number so that a child can learn how to spell these words. Animal Pictures Each block features a picture of a different animal. Children delight in recognizing the animals on each block. Animal Names We print the name of each animal beneath the picture so that a child can learn how to spell these names. Basswood Uncle Goose blocks are made from basswood which is grown around the Great Lakes. Basswood is ideal for making blocks because it’s light-weight, light-colored and odor-free. The basswood used is farmed for manufacturing on industry owned land. We are committed to environmentally-appropriate manufacturing. This set contains a pull toy wagon that stores the blocks neatly! Educational Value: Building blocks stimulate a child's imagination into creative action! First, the idea and then the reproduction outside the child's mind. Blocks stimulate imagination while honing small motor skills. The classic open ended play toy.
