The Ten Towers game by Larsen Toy Lab perfectly walks the fine line between cooperation and competition, while staying fun and engaging for the little ones. As a group players take turns building a tower shown on the card, and whoever puts the last block in place is rewarded!

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.
