A set includes 36 blocks, each block is a 1½" wood cube.  The front face of each block holds a capital letter or a number (A-Z, 0-9), and the back face is the matching lower case letter (a-z) or a punctuation mark (! $ & ? / : - % . +).  The remaining four sides each hold one line of a popular Christian children's song (see list of songs below). All together, the set includes the text of 23 songs (at least one verse of each song).

Concept:

Alphabet blocks are one of the best toys ever made, in my opinion.  Most of the time, however, young children are left to play with them by themselves, and older children quickly lose interest in them.  PraiseBlox™ are much more engaging, as parents, caretakers, teachers and older siblings are much more inclined to play with small children, helping them to pick out the songs and reading with them.

Pre-school aged children will be able to play with these blocks just like regular alphabet blocks, but older children will also be interested in finding the right blocks, putting them in order, and singing the songs.  These blocks are also great for households with children of varying ages, as older children often enjoy showing off and reading to their younger siblings.

Special Information:

The letters, numbers and symbols are painted on using stencils and a very durable indoor/outdoor, child safe, non-toxic paint.   The song text is applied toner ink (so no more dangerous than a photo copy).  These blocks are VERY durable and will survive most any abuse that doesn't destroy the wood itself.

Right now each set of blocks comes in a small open-topped wood box (I am having some boxes custom made for future sets, but I'm not sure how long it will take to get them in).  If you're interested in purchasing multiple sets, or would like to know when new sets become available, please email us and ask to be signed up for our StoryBlox™ newsletter.
