22-Piece Handmade Wooden Block Set 🌿🪵

Beautifully simple, endlessly open-ended. 🌿🪵

A handmade 22-piece wooden block set designed for imaginative play, construction, problem-solving and creativity across indoor and outdoor early-years environments.

Each set is made by hand from pressure-treated European white wood. The blocks are robust enough for outdoor play, but they work just as beautifully indoors in playrooms, nurseries, childminding settings and continuous provision.

These are the blocks we use in real early-years practice at Roxanne’s Little Explorers, where they become bridges, houses, roads, ramps, stages, animal homes, obstacle courses, small-world landscapes and whatever else children dream up.

✨ What’s included

• 4 small rectangles
• 4 medium rectangles
• 2 long rectangles
• 2 extra-large long rectangles
• 2 triangles
• 2 squares
• 5 large planks
• 1 medium plank
• 1 small plank
• 3 planks feature circular cut-outs for even more open-ended play possibilities

🌿 Why block play matters

These blocks are designed to support far more than building.

They encourage:

• creativity and imaginative thinking
• problem-solving and perseverance
• spatial awareness and early mathematical thinking
• balance, coordination and gross motor development
• “heavy work” and whole-body movement
• schema play, including transporting, positioning, connecting, enclosing and trajectory
• collaboration, communication and negotiation
• independent thinking and child-led play
• small-world and role-play possibilities
• open-ended learning, with no single “right” way to use them

Because the pieces are larger and more substantial than traditional tabletop blocks, children can use their whole bodies to move, carry, stack, balance and construct with them.

🪵 Handmade for real play

Every set is made by hand, so natural variations in the timber, grain, knots and appearance are part of its character.

The wood is pressure treated for durability and can be used indoors or outdoors. For the longest possible life, we recommend storing the blocks somewhere reasonably dry when not in use and avoiding prolonged submersion in water.

A suitable additional wood treatment can also be applied over time if you wish to further extend their outdoor lifespan.

Blocks only. Storage crate not included.
