Further infomation about our range of Uncle Goose Wooden Blocks.
Continuing Yankee Doodle's expansion, we now include the highest quality, 'World's Best Blocks' in our product range. These blocks really do need to bee seen to be appreciated, we looked at many samples of blocks once we decided to add wooden blocks to our range, and these are the only blocks genuainely made in the USA to the highest possible standards.
Embossing
What makes Uncle Goose 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. Uncle Goose are proud of their embossing capability and produce a wide range of embossed letters, numbers and images.
Beveled Edges
Uncle Goose chamfer the upright edges of their blocks to eliminate sharp corners and make the blocks more comfortable to hold.
Classic Styling
Uncle Goose 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
Uncle Goose toys are made from child-safe materials, especially non-toxic inks. Uncle Goose toys are tested regularly and always surpass national and international standards on ink safety. Of course there is very little ink on the 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.
Numerals
The ABC blocks also feature numerals 0 to 9 and math symbols (+ - X, etc.). As children begin to recognize letters they will also learn their numbers. Later on they may use the blocks to form equations just as they are spelling words.
Number Names
Uncle Goose print the name of each number beneath the number so that a child can learn how to spell these words.
Uppercase Letters
The standard ABC blocks feature all uppercase letters. A lowercase set will be available in a few weeks.
Animal Pictures
Each block features a picture of a different animal. Children delight in recognizing the animals on each block.
Animal Names
Uncle Goose print the name of each animal beneath the picture so that a child can learn how to spell these names.
Basswood
Uncle Goose 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 odour-free. The basswood they use is farmed for manufacturing on industry-owned land. Uncle Goose are committed to environmentally-appropriate manufacturing.
