Good Wood by Miller Goodman

This gorgeous set of puzzle blocks prove wooden toys don't have to be boring and that great toys are ageless. I personally don't think wooden toys are boring in the first place and hate when people say they are. My nephew has outgrown plenty of his plastic toys but one thing he still plays with is a set of wooden blocks. I'm adding these beauties by Miller Goodman to my wish list for my daughter.

The photo above is a promotional photo for the blocks, but may be even more amazing are the images people have created with the blocks and posted on this flickr stream!

Around the World with Haba Blocks

Inspire their inner builder and your own with Haba's collection of famous historical structures from around the world. My personal favorite is the pagoda but you can venture to Egypt and build a pyramid or take on ancient Rome with an awesome coliseum. And no kids, it is not nice to feed people to the lions!
