Uncle Goose Classic ABC Blocks - Made in The USA

We bought these for our son who is two after doing a bunch of research on nontoxic toy brands. Uncle Goose came up as one of the best brands. These blocks are the cutest thing ever and I love that they come from a family business and made in the US. They are colorful without being over the top ugly like most and have animals, numbers and letters on all sides of the cubes... such a great learning toy for our boy! These will be great to pass down to all of our kids and would be such a cute gift as well! These also come in a bunch of other varieties and languages. If we weren’t on a strict budget with two kids, I’d buy them all up!

These blocks are even more beautiful in person than pictured! I can’t say enough nice things about this toy. I love that it’s made in the US. I specifically bought this toy because of how beautiful it is and well-made. I intend to save these after their use for my grandchildren. This is definitely heirloom quality. There are so many ways that these blocks can be used. There are numbers, arithmetic operations, animals and the alphabet. These blocks can be used for so many educational purposes. Learning words/spelling, counting/math, learning animals, stacking and sorting.

These are exactly as you remember them. Beautiful, real wood, carved and printed in nice primary colors. That said you must follow the cleaning instructions exactly. I bought a new set because the older set, also uncle goose, were ruined when stored for sometime using tape to hold them on a wood wagon (which was how they were sold at the time. The tape left a sticky residue on the top of the top row of blocks. Only goo off would remove the residue and it also removed the color on the stamped blocks. The carved side is fine, see pic 1. But the stamped side was ruined. This company does sell replacement blocks. In my case so many were ruined it was worth buying a new set. It was my own fault but still. Keep the blocks away from anything sticky and follow cleaning instructions exactly. Never clean with a chemical cleaner like GooOff. My new blocks are exactly like the old ones, except a few pictures are slightly different. They are the same size and fit in the old wood wagon exactly. Thank you for making this wonderful classic toy.

Very happy with these blocks. Solid wood blocks with lots of details on them. Our daughter likes to play with these, studying the letters and animals on them. These blocks are engraved and painted, making them stand out from others. Easy to stack, easy to read, and overall a great toy for children. Our daughter is 17 months old and loves them.

Don’t listen to the reviews complaining about bits of wood flaking, etc. these blocks are beautiful and solid! They are a true wooden toy so of course there are variances in appearance and occasional flakes, but that’s what you’re going to get whenever you have intricate carving. I’m saving these for my baby once he gets out of the “everything in my mouth” stage just to save unnecessary wear and tear, but this would be perfect for any child who can be trusted to (mostly) not chew on their toys. With supervision he loves to look at all the colors and animals. This is exactly as advertised: lovely, American-made, wooden alphabet blocks with darling animals.

The prettiest alphabet blocks I have ever seen!

The Easter Bunny brought this set for my two year four month old son. I was not sure he would find this interesting amongst the array of loud beeping toys but I was pleasantly surprised that he engaged with this toy. He enjoys stacking them and building pyramids with them as well as piling them into his dump truck and pretending to haul them off to the dump. I like that I can interject little pockets of learning numbers and letters into his playing with these blocks by pointing out the letters and lining up a few blocks in numerical order to practice counting. The quality justifies the price. They are beautifully made and I particularly like the embossed detail which gives the blocks nice texture. The colors are vivid without being obnoxious. This is a classic timeless quality made toy and is one of a few toys I intend to hold onto for my son's children to play with years down the road, if he has children .

There were really cute and most likely will be handed down to next generation. I appreciate the nontoxic. Not all of them were perfect as some had some runs and a couple blocks had some rough spots. I love helping USA companies, especially something that may be heirloom type.
