Introduce a playful world of discovery with the Melissa & Doug Ms. Rachel Wooden Learning Blocks + Activity Cards set - a 30-block learning kit inspired by Ms. Rachel's early-learning approach. Designed for children 18 months and up, this educational toy combines tactile block play with purposeful learning to develop early literacy, math, speech, and motor skills - all while keeping play time flexible and fun.
Each block includes embossed letters, numbers, shapes, or pictures. Four game-style blocks add storytelling and challenge. The 14 double-sided activity cards provide structured ideas like matching, counting, tracing, and grouping, but the blocks are versatile enough for open-ended creativity too. Children can stack, sort, roll, match, trace, and explore - adjusting the difficulty as they grow.
This set supports multiple developmental domains. As kids manipulate and align blocks with the cards, they practice letter and number recognition, logical thinking, categorization, turn-taking, and memory. Manual play builds grip strength, control, and coordination. Furthermore, using real, wooden objects helps reduce screen dependency and encourages tactile learning. The included storage box keeps all pieces handy and portable for easy cleanup or travel.
Constructed with FSC-certified wood (for new inventory) and finished in safe, smooth paints, these blocks are built to last and safe for curious hands. Perfect as a gift for babies, toddlers, or preschoolers, the Ms. Rachel Wooden Learning Blocks + Activity Cards set blends intentional learning with open-ended play - fostering confidence, creativity, and early-school readiness.
