Nic Coloured Nesting Blocks

These five set wooden boxes come in a range of muted rainbow colours and can be used in multiple ways for play and learning. Stack them into a tower, slot them into each other, play hunt the ball, turn them into rooms for peg dolls and wooden animals, use them as food bowls and pans in a play kitchen, use them to store pencils and paintbrushes - the possibilities are endless.

These nesting boxes will be a favourite with parents following Waldorf Steiner and Montessori play principles as they are beautifully made from natural materials and can be used in multiple, non-prescriptive ways by children. Working out how the blocks stack together teaches children about size and how different objects relate to one another. Playing with these blocks will hone motor skills, co-ordination and encourage imaginative play.

Ethically made, simple and hand-crafted, this toy has been made from solid sustainable wood and coloured with oil-based plant pigments and natural colours which allows the natural features of the wood to show through.

The largest box measures 13.5cm x 13.5cm x 12cm. 

Suitable from 12 months+.
