The Building Bridges wooden block set and matching children's book from Larsen Toy Lab aims to add another educational layer to the vital learning experience that block play offers. In the 2nd installment of the series, Leif continues his adventures in a new city making new friends (his classmate Emma) and facing new challenges.

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.

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.
