Wooden Blocks and Wooden Toys from Old Fashioned Blocks Old Fashioned Blocks is a woodshop located in Rhode Island and dedicated to building high quality old fashioned wooden blocks and other wooden toys. We are a "Made in the USA" manufacturer. Our maple wood unit building blocks and ABC alphabet blocks and the entire line of wooden toys are designed to use the joy of play to foster and contribute to the educational and physical development of children.
If your interest is blocks, there are three key questions to ask when deciding what to buy and where to buy it:
(1) What shapes and quantities of each are in the set? Make sure you know the set makeup when comparing price. Low prices because of large quantities of small/odd shapes is not the recipe for a good block set.
(2) Are these blocks true Standard Unit Blocks? Is size based on the Standard Unit?
(3) Are the blocks made using Hard Maple?
Finally, remember that "Made in the USA" & "Made by Oldfashionedblocks" are good guarantees of quality!
Handmade Wooden Toys From India
The art of crafting wooden toys has been passed down from generation to generation. Chennapatna, a tiny little town in India, is one such place where artisans and craftsmen
fashion beautiful toys from wood, and painstakingly lacquer them with bright colors. For many many years, this tradition has been passed down from family to family, and till today, one can find these very unique wooden toys for sale in small stores which dot the main highway which passes through this town.
Here is a series of pictures of some of the wooden toys of Chennapatna. Most of the toys are based on the local people, their way of dressing, and on the folklore of old. So, go ahead and take a look at the Photo Gallery Of Wooden Toys From India.
