The Sticks and Stones wooden block set and matching children's book by Larsen Toy Lab aims to add another educational layer to the vital learning experience that block play offers. Armed only with a vivid imagination and a set of blocks, Leif transforms from a poor farmer's son into a town hero! Watch your child's excitement for blocks swell as they follow Leif's adventures.

Bonus

Free name engraving is included with the set, creating a uniquely personal gift. Please include in the notes section upon checkout if you'd like the set to be personally engraved, and with what name.

Features

• Includes ~ 40 wood blocks, Sticks and Stones book (1st in series), canvas carrying bag
• Hardcover storybook includes block models for kids to emulate the same structures that Leif is creating in the story
• Award winning, each wood block is handmade and individually beveled
• Cherry blocks that have a light beeswax finish and Maple blocks that have no finish at all

Details

The two most obvious differences between Larsen blocks and others are attention to detail and personalization.  Instead of tumbling the blocks together in a large bin (creating nicks and dents on the surface), these blocks are individually sanded using a custom jig and machine called SandFlee. The same set-up is used to bevel the edges and corners to make sure nothing is too sharp for the little ones.

• PolishLOVE ~ 8oz of tangy and crisp, organic tangerine scented spray for cleaning dirt and grime from stroller frames.

Details + Directions

FreshLOVE ~ Make life a little sweeter and say good-bye to those funky smells left behind by your little one. Now you can safely, effectively and organically neutralize unpleasant scents on any type of stroller and carseat fabrics. Shake well. Hold bottle 2”-3” away from fabric area that smells questionable. Spray generously.

PolishLOVE ~ Organically and safely shine up stroller frames, tires, hardware and stroller accessories in a snap. Shake well and spray generously directly onto soiled stroller area or accessory in need of some love. Rub dry evenly with microfiber cloth. Store in your buggy’s undercarriage for an on-the-go solution during stroller emergencies. For deep cleaning of wheel and spoke areas use BuggyLOVE’s tampico fiber brush in tandem with a microfiber cloth.

FabricLOVE ~ Mashed up bananas? Sunscreen smears? Spilled milk? Spit-up formula? Finally a way to organically and quickly wipe away stains without the hassle of taking apart your stroller or carseat to launder it. Shake well. Squirt solution directly onto soiled area. Rub vigorously with a microfiber cloth until stain vanishes. For deep cleaning use the tampico fiber brush in tandem with microfiber cloth. Do not spot clean delicate fabrics; instead, generously apply solution to entire surface area and wipe evenly. 

WheelLOVE ~ Squirt and apply a small amount of natural lube directly on stroller wheel axel or joint area in need of silencing or un-sticking. Wipe away excess.

Notes

Your beautiful, swanky stroller will get spit on, spilled on, and squeal more than your child ever does. It's a nice thought, but reality knocks quickly, and you aren't going to take your stroller apart and wash it daily. PS ~ if you do, plan on it being spilled on again pronto!
