Uncle Goose Classic ABC Blocks

Uncle Goose has been making alphabet blocks in Michigan since 1983. They’re hand-printed with non-toxic ink on basswood, six sides per block (uppercase letter, lowercase letter, picture, number, math symbol, decorative), and the print quality is heritage-grade. Pricey ($60 for the 28-block set) but they look genuinely beautiful on a shelf and our test toddlers gravitated to them ahead of cheaper plastic alphabet toys.
