Tree Blocks Are a Unique Alternative to Traditional Wooden Block Sets

Tree Blocks from Karl Oppen are made from reclaimed, recycled, and sustainably harvested wood to provide a unique building toy for your child.

This barkless tree block set has the smooth feel of a river washed stone. The bark from the tree blocks is removed with high pressure water to reveal the hues of the wood underneath. The set contains 35 blocks of assorted sizes, as well as one off-white twill drawstring bag for handy storage.

I love how this block set puts a completely different spin on traditional wooden building blocks. The blocks would be perfect for building castles for knights and fairy princesses, mountains for a dinosaur to climb, or a tree house for a gnome.

With 35 pieces, your child should have enough blocks to experiment with different building structures but not enough to end up overwhelmed by all of the possibilities.

The block set is recommended for children ages three and up. The set contains small parts, which could be a potential choking hazard for younger children.

You can purchase the barkless tree block set on the Fat Brain Toys website for $44.95. The product gets an 8.85 on the site’s “Toy Value Index” and has a 183 “Toy IQ” rating. It is also recommended as one of the top picks for children with autism or speech and language delays.

Fat Brain Toys offers a flat $3.99 shipping anywhere in the United States. Gift wrapping can be added to your purchase for an additional $1.95.
