Wooden Blocks
Beginner B07
Maple Firsts and Seconds
American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The Beginner Kit is an excellent kit for children
up to 4ish. At this age, children are able to stack blocks on top of
one another, make towers, and enjoy seeing them fall over. They are
able to understand abstraction a good deal better, and will recognize
that differently shaped triangles are still triangles. They love to
play with their parents and make things together. They are not yet
ready to copy most pictures or to understand how a building might be
assembled. Left to ruminate, however, they will sometimes construct
amusing things, nearly inscrutable to adults, but hilarious when they
are described by children and usually abstracting an element that an
adult wouldn't ordinarily consider. The "B" Kits are the same size
(weight/Volume) as the "A" kits but are chunkier having more big pieces
and fewer small ones.
