Handmade Wooden Blocks at Magen’s Bay {Review + Giveaway!}
Ive fallen absolutely in love with these unique handmade wooden block sets handcrafted by mom Brooke of Magens Bay! Youll find a myriad of patterns and colors (for girls, boys, or gender neutral), and the blocks are available in several set sizes from sets of 6 to sets of 50.
Blocks are really a basic staple of a childs toy collection, arent they? These are more than what youll find in the store theyre lovingly made by a fellow mom; cut, sanded, designer papers applied and sealed over several times with nontoxic varnish. These blocks will make a fashion statement in any nursery. 🙂
A Moms Thoughts
Thanks to Magens Bay, I received a set of six Alphabet Animal Blocks for review.
I am so pleased with the quality of these blocks! They are exceptionally well-made and are cuter than any other set of blocks Ive come across in stores. They are safe for little ones, made with nontoxic materials and with all edges sanded down.
I love the combination of letters and animals, two things that my 2-year-old is crazy about right now. She enjoys not only stacking and building with them, but naming the animals and the letters.
Im crazy about this online store and recommend them highly! In fact, I think you should run, not walk, straight there and make an order. Her prices are very reasonable. These animal blocks are $18.00 for the set of six. She also has sets of 30 blocks for $36.00. You cant beat that!
Discount Alert!
Magens Bay is offering 20% off your order, just make sure to mention you came from Kindred Spirit Mommy and shell refund you after you make the order. 🙂
