A colorful set of wooden building pieces in four color families - warm reds and oranges, sunny yellow, cool blues, and fresh greens - that kids can freely combine into their own shapes, patterns, or little creatures. Made from solid maple wood, hand-painted in colors that stay bright even after years of play. The pieces are pretty enough to leave assembled as the pictured four-seasons scene and display on a shelf, but they're really meant for open building first. Once kids get more practice fitting the wavy edges together, they can also treat it as a challenge puzzle, working out how to rebuild the original picture from scratch. About 13 inches square. Handcrafted in Europe. A natural fit for Montessori and Waldorf-inspired play.
