Exquisitely crafted wooden blocks with watercolour magic

These beautifully crafted wooden blocks feature embossed lowercase letters that invite little fingers to trace and explore, whilst uppercase letters emerge from gorgeous paint-washed backgrounds that look like works of art themselves.

Each block is printed with safe-to-touch, non-toxic inks and represents the finest American craftsmanship – these aren't just toys, they're heirloom pieces designed to be treasured for generations.

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
