Chelona - United Kids Nesting Blocks Review

from Chelona

There are certain aspects of upbringing that are never too early to introduce. The values of unity, diversity, and care for other people is one of those. This is where this wonderful toy comes in. These beautifully illustrated laminated building blocks are just amazing. They are made by Chelona,a Greek company that uses only non-toxic, child safe materials.



So this is a set of six wooden cubes. It is overlayed with whimsical illustrations on paper and has at least three possible activity games: stacking, nesting, and combining the sides. It should really engage your little one's imagination and it illustrates a diverse and united world. And of course your little one can mix and match all the different sides.



Nesting and stacking toys help strengthen fine motor skills, which play an important role in preparing kids to be self-sufficient, so if not this particular one you should definitely invest in at least one such toy.

Pros: really many pros to this toy: nesting/stalking toys in general develop the ability to use a spoon, to write legibly, to turn pages in a book, to dress, or to brush teeth, and of course toys that engage reasoning skills develop problem solving
Cons: only one con that comes to mind: don't get it wet
Age: 1yr+

Price: $12.00 at Amazon.com
