Further Information

About Uncle Goose: Founded in 1983 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Uncle Goose is dedicated to preserving the tradition of American-made wooden toys. Every set is handcrafted by skilled artisans, many from families with generations of woodworking experience.

Materials & Safety: Made from fast-growing American basswood (Tilia Americana) harvested from the Great Lakes region. The wood is left untreated for safety – if a curious child chews a block, they'll discover that plain basswood tastes bland and uninteresting. Printed with non-toxic, child-safe inks.

Sustainability: The basswood is a renewable resource that grows quickly and is harvested sustainably. Uncle Goose repurposes wood scraps and dust, maintaining their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Craftsmanship: Each block is individually crafted and embossed by hand. The company pays living wages to skilled workers in Michigan, supporting American manufacturing and traditional woodworking skills.

What's Included: 14 wooden blocks featuring embossed lowercase letters, uppercase letters in watercolour backgrounds, nature-inspired illustrations, and artistic palette patterns
