Uncle Goose Wooden Waldorf Moon Phases Toy Blocks
Uncle Goose Moon Phase Blocks are a set of 9 wooden toy cubes printed and engraved with the 8 moon phases: First quarter, Waxing crescent, New moon, Waning crescent, Last quarter, Waning gibbous, Full moon and Waxing gibbous.
Handmade from sustainably sourced Midwestern basswood, these cubes feature two engraved sides and four printed sides. Two engraved sides show the moon phase and its location in the cycle, whereas the printed sides show the moon rise and set times, its effect on tides, a phase illustration and the location in relation to the sun.
The various colours and textures make this a lovely tactile and sensory toy that is great for stacking, sorting and matching. There is so much potential for learning and developing fine motor skills with these Waldorf blocks. Uncle Goose have used natural non-toxic inks for the deep colouring, ensuring that these toys are safe for children's skin and mouths.
They make a beautiful gift and are a timeless classic with heirloom-like quality. Pair these with the Uncle Goose Planet Blocks to learn all about the wonders of our solar system.
