Sixty Pieces, One Oak Box
Padauk, zebrano, purpleheart, oak. The colour is the wood.
Sixty building blocks in every classic shape (arches, columns, triangles, cylinders, bricks), hand-finished with food-safe natural oils and waxes. When the building is done, they pack back into their solid oak tray like a mosaic, and the tray can carry a child's name, engraved as a complimentary part of the order.

A paragraph
Oak & Sprout's building blocks come in four woods, and the colours are the woods themselves: nothing is painted. Sixty pieces in every classic shape, from arches and cylinders to triangles and planks. When the building is done they pack back into an oak tray like a puzzle, and the tray can be engraved with a name at no extra cost. £69, oakandsprout.co.uk.
From the people who gave it
★★★★★
In their own words, from the reviews on the Box Set's page.
★★★★★
Looking for open play look no further
“The Oak & Sprout bricks were bought for my first grandson as an heirloom gift… The quality of the pieces is exceptional and the craftsmanship superb. Even down to the beautiful dovetail joints on the oak tray. They are extremely tactile and the different woods just add to the charm.”
★★★★★
Beautiful. Inspirational. Satisfying.
“As soon as they arrived I just had to tip them out, feel them, and then build something! Even re-arranging them back in their box was satisfying. Building bricks were my favourite toy as a child… I hope they will inspire him as my old bricks inspired me.”
★★★★★
Gateway to the imagination
“We love our building blocks - we have made houses, factories, a forest, a fairy garden and old mother Hubbard's shoe house to name a few with them. I love that I can leave my 4 year old with them and she can be absorbed making towers for a long time…”
★★★★★
“I was moved to tears by the quality and workmanship and I am sure it will be treasured by generations to come.”
★★★★★
“Beautifully made… I wanted to give her the opportunity of exploring the interaction of shapes, patterns and colours. Also to appreciate the value of ‘undoing and putting back together’.”
★★★★★
Lovely box of pieces.
“My initial reaction is wow, how very lovely, what excuses can I make to handle it myself (I’m 81 years young)… A great ‘toy’ is timeless and I suspect this box of blocks may be in that category.”
