Classic Tree Blocks. “These exquisitely hand cut branch blocks are made from trees that have fallen due to natural causes – Tree Blocks are designed to inspire creativity.

22 free form pieces come in precision-cut 2-cm. length increments (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 cm.) with large disks and bridges to support successful building and early math and metric system learning.”

Thank You Svea for sharing these with me. I have seen them in action and would recommend that every family/ preschool have a set or two. If you have the right tools at home it could be fun to make a bunch of your own.
