Looking for wooden blocks this Christmas? 3 reasons why you should buy a large wooden block set

Here’s a great gift to put under your family’s Christmas tree! Wrap a large set of wooden blocks. This classic toy will provide hours of creative and educational fun. Wooden building blocks are a classic toy that never goes out of style. They may not be flashy or high-tech, but the blocks will provide hours and even years of good, natural, educational play for your child. In past generations, wooden blocks were a traditional Christmas gift for children.

3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A LARGE WOODEN BLOCK SET

#1-More blocks, more creativity!

There is nothing worse than not having the pieces to finish the great idea you started to build. Burning out can be a real creativity killer. Not having enough pieces makes children lose interest in playing with a great creative toy like wooden blocks. But having a bunch of different sizes and shapes draws kids to task. Children will tend to play with a large set of blocks much more than a small set. Give them the tools they need to be creative, give them lots of blocks.

#2-More blocks, cheaper!

The larger wooden block sets are usually the best value. Not only is the price per piece lower in the larger sets, but there are more larger blocks and more shapes, so the value is even greater. Therefore, buying 2 smaller block sets is not equivalent to one large set. The bigger set not only has more blocks, but generally has bigger blocks and more shapes. This is a toy that will last for many years. They are a great lasting value!

#3-More blocks, to use as they grow!

Certainly a 2 or 3 year old doesn’t need 200 blocks and may even feel overwhelmed by too many. However, they will want more blocks and more shapes as they get older. A 5-year-old will want a lot to build an entire city, and share with siblings and friends. Playing together and cooperating in building a great project is an activity that early school-age children love.

One suggestion is to buy a large set but then only give a smaller child a portion of the blocks while they are small. A 2 or 3 year old will play with about 30-50 which are mostly squares and rectangles. But as they get 4 years and older, they like 100 blocks and will start to use triangles, wedges and arcs etc.

Blocks can be a real social toy that children love to share! So have plenty for all friends to play together!

So if you are considering a wooden block set for your family. Choose a large set for years of family fun.
