Wooden alphabet blocks or abc blocks as they are also known can add an extra dimension to the already versatile wooden block toy.
Wooden building blocks and bricks are a classic learning toy that can be appreciated and played with by a baby, toddler or pre-school child. Toy blocks do not have a set way of playing with them, it is up to the child or children to use their imagination and be creative.
Wooden alphabet blocks or abc blocks as they are also known can add an extra dimension to the already versatile wooden block. A set of alphabet blocks have letters of the alphabet and numbers printed sometimes upper case, sometimes lower or a mixture of both as well as numerals and mathematical signs on occasions. This element makes them into an invaluable learning toy that can be used by an adult to teach about characters of the alphabet, phonetics and simple word creation; as well as numbers and simple maths.
