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 up 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 generations past, 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 lots of different sizes and shapes draws kids into the 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 largest wooden block sets are usually the best value. Not only is the price per piece lower on large sets, but there are more larger blocks and more shapes, so the value is even greater. Therefore, buying 2 sets of smaller blocks is not equivalent to one large set. The bigger game 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 does not need 200 blocks and may even feel overwhelmed by too many. However, they will want more blocks and more shapes as they grow. A 5-year-old will want a lot to build a whole city, and share with siblings and friends. Playing together and cooperating in the construction of a great project is an activity that children of early school age love.

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

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

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