Features of the World's Best Blocks!
Embossing What makes our blocks special are the two embossed letters on each block. The embossing process gives depth and detail to each block and appears to be carved. Actually these designs are pressed into the wood under immense pressure. We are proud of our embossing capability and produce a wide range of embossed letters, numbers and images.
Beveled Edges We chamfer the upright edges of our blocks to eliminate sharp corners and make the blocks more comfortable to hold. Classic Styling Our designs are based on the classic ABC blocks made by the Embossing Company of Albany NY, whose founders, the Hyatt brothers, patented the invention of the embossed ABC block. Our ABC blocks pay homage to the first set of American alphabet blocks made by the Hyatt brothers (who also invented celluloid which led to the explosion of plastics).
Non-Toxic Inks Our toys are made from child-safe materials, especially non-toxic inks. Our toys are tested regularly and always surpass national and international standards on ink safety. Of course there is very little ink on our blocks, so rest assured that a child will not be exposed to harmful substances even if they should consume an entire set of blocks. The same is true for your household pets who may even chew on the blocks (see the Replacements page for what to do if that happens).
Basswood Our blocks are made from basswood which is grown around the Great Lakes. Basswood is ideal for making blocks because it’s light-weight, light-colored and odor-free. The basswood we use is farmed for manufacturing on industry owned land. We are committed to environmentally-appropriate manufacturing.
