Play and Learn – Rainbow Nesting Blocks

I simply love watching my daughter create endless play opportunities with these Rainbow Nesting Blocks.

A house for a small toy person; a tunnel for cars; or a cradle for a baby. The possibilities are endless when you allow a child time to play and explore.

Block play
Children of all ages love to build and to nest toys and this set of wooden rainbow nesting blocks allows them to do both. The blocks, which are a combination of different sizes and colours, come in four shapes, including a number of sequentially sized blocks, to nest, stack and build with.

My daughter can spend hours lining up, stacking and nesting things, which means these blocks are great for lengthening her concentration. At the same time, she’s also learning about sequencing and sorting.

Building

The blocks, with their beautiful bright colours, are also perfect for playing colour and shape recognition games with kids from a young age.

It’s not just younger children that enjoy these blocks; they’re great for kids from two right up to eight or even nine years of age.

School-aged children will use the blocks to make constructions that get more and more complex each day, and these nesting blocks lend themselves wonderfully to creative and imaginative play.

Nesting blocks

Informal block play is the perfect way to learn a host of early maths skills such as classification, measurement, sequence, pattern, counting, balance, and problem solving.

Given a fabulous toy like this and lots of time and space, children will do what they do best: play and learn.
