Soft Handmade Stacking Blocks

Perfect for little hands, these gorgeous environmentally-friendly stacking blocks are sure to become one of your littlie's most treasured possessions.

Utilising unique one-of-a-kind fabrics, in coordinating prints, this set of four classically shaped stacking blocks will inspire your child's creativity and develop their pattern recognition skills.  

They will also improve your child's fine motor skills as they learn to stack each block shape from biggest to smallest...One of the best things for adults though is that, with your beginner's relentless attempts at getting it right, there will be no abrupt noises as blocks drop to the floor!..There is even a little bell inside each block producing a gentle sound when shaken for added play value and auditory stimulation.

The set comes in an attractive (and handy) fabric drawstring bag that helps you keep all the pieces together in one place for easy clean up and storage...But let's face it, they are so beautiful you will want to showcase them in their room instead of packing them in the cupboard once play is over (even after your littlie has outgrown the need for stacking blocks!)

This delightful handmade first block set is both durable and superbly crafted.  Made by Zid Zid Kids (an international award winning fair trade company) and inspired by the colours and richness of Marrakech, this set is truly a work of art.  Handmade by Moroccan artisans, using a combination of thousand-year-old traditions and modern day techniques, it demonstrates the rich appliques, immaculate attention to detail and superior craftmanship in embroidery evident in all Zid Zid Kids products.

The exquisite Zid Zid stacking blocks would make a great gift or a wonderful addition to any quality toy collection.
