The size and grandeur of the redwood tree emerges as these ten blocks are stacked. The ecology theme continues on the other sides of the blocks, with a counting activity, a nature poem, and a look at the habitat of the various creatures who live in and around the tree. The tops of the blocks show the view from above, starting in space and continuing ten times closer with each block, down to the forest floor. The sixth side of each block is hollow, allowing the blocks to nest together for convenient storage. We found that the youngest children love the nesting aspect of the blocks. Children from Montessori schools will undoubtedly see the resemblance to their classroom Pink Tower! With the variety of activities, this multi-faceted set will challenge children as they grow.
