Spiel and Holz Blocks - Long-lasting Learning E-mail
Written by Suzanne Catchpole   
20.01.2008


Toys that serve multiple purposes are always super-appealing, especially in cramped inner-city abodes where space is limited. Use these pretty wooden blocks by Spiel and Holz from age three up for play and later, demonstrating mathematical concepts such as fractions.These blocks align with Steiner educational principles that place open-ended child-led play as central to early childhood learning.

Categorize according to colour and size, make rainbows, towers, teach the visual value of a quarter - these beautifully crafted blocks will last several generations. Presented in a series of incremental steps nestled in a tray, the rainbow colours are achieved with gentle, non-toxic dyes. With recent concerns about paints and dyes in mainstream children's toys, you can be sure you're getting quality with Spiel and Holz blocks.

Available from Honeybee Toys for $65 plus post.
