The pieces nest together perfectly because they are carved from a single piece of solid linden wood from FSC-certified trees, guaranteeing the wood is harvested in environmentally sustainable ways. It is cut, then shaped, smoothed, and colored by hand using non-toxic, water based stains, which leaves a pleasing matte finish that is perfect for stacking. This smooth finish allows the natural wood grain to show through on the surface (revealing your one-of-a-kind rainbow!) It also prevents the blocks from slipping when used for building. Measures about 6.7 inches wide, 3.6 inches high.

Benefits of Playing with Blocks: Toy blocks serve as building blocks for children’s creativity. Extensive research has shown that block play provides a rich learning context for young children's social development, physical knowledge, language acquisition, mathematical concepts, and creative thinking. The open-ended nature of block play encourages exploration, allowing a child to truly CREATE -- anything that can be imagined! Beautiful heirloom-quality nesting stacker is handcrafted in Europe by German company Grimm's Spiel & Holz Design Children (and even adults!) will love to nest and stack the colorful blocks, make unique formations, use them as an open-ended toy in pretend play, or combine with other blocks for larger building projects Inspires creativity: Rainbow arches can be used as tunnels, little houses, roofs, hills, rocking chairs or beds for little dolls... just let your imagination lead! The 6 pieces are cut from one solid piece of wood. Nested together measure (in inches) 6.7" wide x 3.6" high x 2.5" thick/deep Made from sustainably harvested FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified wood; colored with certified non-toxic, water based stains (no troublesome paints or varnish).
