A curved wooden board that becomes a rocker, a bridge, a slide or a surfboard. Kids teach themselves balance by experimenting.
Honest drawback: Fingers can get pinched under a rocking board. Teach the "hands on top" rule.

Beautiful wood blocks in a modern palette. They look nice enough to leave out in the living room, which is half the battle for getting kids to play with blocks.
Honest drawback: Non-magnetic, so towers topple more easily than with Tegu's magnetic line. Some kids find that frustrating, others find it more satisfying.
Proper unit blocks, the kind every good preschool classroom has, made from reclaimed rubberwood. PlanToys says they use formaldehyde-free glue and water-based dyes.
Honest drawback: Fifty blocks is a starter set. Classrooms use hundreds.
Seventy pieces with 20+ activities designed by a team of child development experts. Toddlers get easy wins, and it grows into real engineering with ramps, arches and pegs.
Honest drawback: Premium price for blocks, so you're paying for the design and the activity guide.
