MONTESSORI INSPIRED BUILDING AND CREATIVE DISCOVERY – The PlanToys 40 Unit Blocks set invites children to explore open ended construction, stacking, balancing and shape recognition through hands on learning. These wooden blocks encourage creativity, imaginative play, early math understanding, spatial awareness and Montessori aligned independent exploration.
DEVELOPS FINE MOTOR SKILLS, HAND EYE COORDINATION AND CONTROL – Lifting, placing and adjusting each block strengthens grip control, bilateral hand use, finger dexterity and wrist stability. These foundational fine motor skills support writing readiness, early engineering abilities, practical life skills and confident manipulation of objects in toddler and preschool development.
SUPPORTS EARLY STEM, LOGICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING – Children naturally experiment with symmetry, balance, angles, height and pattern creation as they build structures. This promotes early STEM learning, sequencing, cognitive development, spatial reasoning and problem solving through meaningful trial and error exploration.
ENCOURAGES IMAGINATION, STORYTELLING AND OPEN ENDED PLAY – These blocks inspire endless creative play opportunities, from building towers and bridges to forming landscapes and imaginative scenes. Open ended construction supports language development, pretend play, emotional expression, creativity, social skills and long lasting engagement across developmental stages.

Wonderful blocks
I am always looking for classic, educational toys for my son that are made of non toxic products. Plan toys have been a hit every time so far. Their sustainabile manufacturing practices and reasonable prices makes them a favorite for me.I originally bought my son Haba Blocks made of Beech wood from Germany . We have the Haba Fantasy Blocks, First Blocksand Haba Patience Blocks (3 pcs). They are each lovely, wonderfully made blocks, but at about $75 for less than 50 blocks, we werent building very much. My son loves to explore the beautiful Haba blocks, but I was on the search for a more reasonably priced alternative to build up our collection. I dont think the Plan Toys blocks made of rubberwood from Thailand are a whole lot cheaper, but they are somewhat so. These are well made, consistant good quality, well sanded/painted and look like they will be around a long time. There were only 2 blocks I took away from this set as they would pose a possible choking hazard to my little dragon.The basic cube of these blocks is 35 mm and the basic cube in the Haba blocks is 4cm (40mm). So each block is a little smaller than a Haba block of the same type and these are much more simple blocks without all the fancy little details of the Haba blocks. For building stuff, these are awesome. I also ordered the PlanToys Plan Preschool 50 Unit Blocks at the same time. The unit blocks are HUGE but based on the same 35 mm cube. These Creative Blocks work fantastically as a set of smaller pieces to compliment the larger unit blocks. The only odd thing is the Plan Toys unit blocks match up with these as smaller components, but the unit blocks are unfinished and these have a coating of some kind of varnish or somethning. We also have two sets of Wonderworld blocks Wonderworld 50 Four Creativity Blocks Wonderworld Eco-Friendly 50 Piece Blocks Set, which I also like, but they are a little feminine IMO, but the wonderworld blocks come with a cool viariety of unique shapes that the other sets lacked. The Wonderworld blocks work a little better with the Haba blocks than these, but I still prefer the Plan toys blocks for building bigger stuff for my little dragon to come knock down. I have found that while none of the three brands are completely compatible, you can build with plan toys blocks and wonderworld blocks together with only a little extra effort to make them stack up nicely.In hind sight now that I have all three brands, I’d say if you are super obsessive about only having one type of blocks that works with all the others, Id say go with the Haba. Youd have more options for the most variety available if you dont mind spending a little more money to get there. The quality is just amazing. If you want a more moderate collection with great building options, these are the blocks for you. If you are looking for very colorful blocks without building bigger structures and youd like a smaller price tag but still safe, enviornmentally friendly blocks, go with the Wonderworld blocks.

Toddler says: get these!
These are small blocks, also known as “table blocks” because, well, they’re better played with on a table or a hard flat surface. The don’t stand up very well on our carpet, but it’s probably because it’s rather plush. The rectangular blocks are about the width of iPod nanos, and the cube ones are about the size of 1/4 a block of butter. I bought them as a complimentary set for our PlanToys 50 Unit Blocks, but she plays with these on their own. The smallest block would be the 2 that are shaped like pyramids (you can see one in the far bottom left corner of the picture, sitting on top of the blue block), so you might want to put those aside if your child is still mouthing his/her toys. My daughter is 2 years, 3 months right now, and understands “don’t eat these”, but even so, I watch her when she plays with these. These are solid wood, nicely made and balanced, so they won’t fall over on the table unless you knock them over. If your toddler throws things, though, these may not be the blocks for you, as I can see they can cause some damage when thrown with enough force (or they could hurt someone too). Toddler says: small size is easy for small hands to pick up and build a princess castle, and the different colors mixed with the natural wood is fun to play mix-n-match with. Get these!

Great blocks and great company
We love these blocks–the size is perfect for toddlers, and the paint absorbs into the wood so there’s no chipping. Also, Plan Toys is one of the best toy companies in terms of producing healthy toys for kids and avoiding toxic chemicals in their production. They’re better than Haba, which has actually been found to be no better than lower-priced companies like Melissa and Doug in terms of chemical safety of toys. Our favorite toys come from Plan and Grimm’s–they’re excellent, heirloom quality toys!

Our friend’s 1 year old likes this toy. It is durable.
We bought this for a 1st birthday party and the boy likes the toy. It appears durable and the colors add a nice touch to the blocks many of which have unique shapes.

Beautiful Basic’s for young children
I love the Plan Blocks sets. The Fairy Tale Blocks and the Castle block sets all coordinate with this one. The colors are beautiful and decent sized. Love the texture of them-so much better than plastic! Wish there were people figures with it however to extend the play value.

great set of blocks
We bought these to add to the Plan Toy Baby Walker. Love them; big enough for small hands (and curious mouths) and small enough to be a challenge as my son grew. Easy to store, bright & cheerful colors, very durable. Another great product from a great company!

Les blocs d’unités standard est le jouet idéal – enseignement de la logique, des proportions, de l’interaction tactile et de l’esthétique. La construction et la motricité de mon enfant font des bonds de géant dans chaque structure différente que nous construisons, et je m’amuse aussi! Plan Toys ne déçoit jamais avec la qualité et la finition de la construction, et ce ne sont pas des exceptions. même juste la bonne quantité de ce parfum de bois.

他の積み木もありましたが この階段付きの積み木は、色々子供の発想を広げてくれました。他の積み木と合われるともっと楽しくなります。木の素材も色の発色も綺麗です。子供も大きくなったので児童館へ寄付したところとても喜んであそんでくれているとの事でした。
