Description

This wagon is amazing, made of cherry wood, and sturdy enough for my son to do anything with and the toy won't break. There are 100 sustainably harvested oak blocks of different sizes and shapes in the wagon. The man that made this is a consummate craftsman. He offers a lifetime guarantee on all his toys (he has trains, smaller less expensive sets of blocks, rocking horses and a wagon, among other toys). The blocks have a 1:2:4 proportion that makes them easy to build with and is supposed to teach mathematical skills.

It is VERY pricey for a kids toy. I bought it with money I should have spent on work clothes, but my kids play with this every day. It was money well spent. These blocks have been everything, from vegetable to architecture to animal. This set of blocks is, hands down, the best set I have ever seen. It won't be leaving my house until my kids have their own children, I can promise that!

The only thing that bothers me about this wagon is that my 1 year old takes out the smaller, cylindrical blocks and drops them around the house, and I'm always finding them in the couch, on the bed, ect. The toy is so popular that getting all 100 blocks back in the wagon is challenging. I suppose I can always buy new blocks though, should we lose any of them permanently.

Its kind of difficult to order from the website, it isn't all 'point and click'. I think ultimately, you'd need to email this guy. But its worth it, I promise.
