From Down to Earth Toys: Maple Landmark Wood Blocks--No Plastic, No Finish, U.S. Made


Looking for high quaility, non-toxic blocks for your little builder? Look no further.

My Best Blocks, made by Maple Landmark in my home state of Vermont, and found at Down to Earth toys makes an exceptional eco-friendly and safe gift. The junior builder set has 41 pieces, all in different shapes and sizes for your little builder to create castles, buildings, houses, or whatever they dream up.

They are made from maple wood, sanded smooth with NO FINISH. Fabulous. No chance of discovering later, after your child has mouthed it for months, that it contains some awful chemical. Simple. And this way, your child uses her imagination instead of prescribed colors.

My daughters love blocks. We are in the elaborate building stage, where entire scenes are built over hours, and one not dare to move or touch (or even go close to--) their creations. These blocks, I noticed, gave them more flexbility in what they were building versus regular lego type blocks. The different sizes allowed for more shapes, more balancing, and more options.

Maple Landmark of Vermont works hard to be a sustainable and green business. You can feel good about buying safe and non-toxic toys made by a U.S. company like Maple Landmark, from a mama owned safe and natural toy store like Down to Earth Toys.
