Stacking Wooden Stones & Blocks - 40 pieces

Inspire natural wonder, creativity and hands-on learning with the Guidecraft Stacking Wooden Stones & Blocks - 40 Pieces, a beautifully crafted collection of open-ended resources designed for children aged 2 years and up. With a mix of smooth, organically shaped wooden stones and blocks, this versatile set brings the natural textures and tones of the outdoors into your indoor learning space.

Each piece is sanded to perfection, highlighting the grain and unique shapes of the wood, encouraging children to stack, sort and balance in imaginative and intentional ways. With various sizes and forms, the blocks support exploration of weight, gravity, symmetry and stability - laying the foundation for early engineering and mathematical understanding. The included inspiration cards prompt creative constructions and themed play, adding depth to each play session.

Whether used independently or as part of a small group, these loose parts encourage problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. Their open-ended nature allows children to use them in endless ways - constructing, designing, storytelling and experimenting - all while developing confidence and critical thinking skills.
