One thing I’ve always said is that I won’t let my kids have too many toys — LOL!

Obviously, I know in the back of my head that I really won’t have total control over how many toys my children end up with — especially if other people buy them the toys 🙂

However, I’ve always had a weakness for wooden toys — and specifically wooden blocks. Nora already has 2 full sets of wooden blocks… but that didn’t stop my from oooing and aaahing over these absolutely gorgeous blocks from the Sincerely Abi Etsy Shop.

I suppose I like wooden toys because they fit my “farmhouse style”, they are timeless, they are more quality than plastic, and they usually don’t have a gazillion little pieces that will get lost or broken.

And these handmade wooden blocks are just the cream of the crop in my opinion… they are all so unique.

Abi hand-makes them, each with different colorful paper and a gorgeous distressed finish. They look like they could have been my grandma’s blocks!

I can’t wait for Nora to get a little older so she can start playing with all her blocks.

Aren’t they just adorable!

    I always like monkeys in a barrel – reminds me of going to my grandma’s!

    I actually have a question about the blocks. They look like they are mod-podged. Is that okay for babies to be mouthing & chewing on? Does it become gummy again if they get to much slober on it? They are super cute, but I want to be sure they are safe 🙂

    I love almost all of the Melissa and Doug brand toys. We’ve purchased many over the years and they last forever and my kids love them. My youngest son is 6 and loves action figures. I love the imaginary play that goes with any figure or doll. Thanks for the great give away!

  6. Beth says

    And, after taking a quick look at her shop, LOVE those blocks! I like Sincerely Abi on Facebook as well.

  8. Beth says

    My favorite children’s toys (I can’t pick just one, sorry) are simple dolls for imagination play and building toys (blocks come first, but then grow into more flexible things like legos and ideally wood and real tools)

  9. Allison says

    I love the Fisher Price little people sets – they’re great for pretend play!

  14. Jen says

    My favorite toy for my 6 month-old is his Vulli Sophie the Giraffe. He adores his Sophie, and she’s super cute.

    My favorite toy of my daughter’s is the play kitchen she’s recently decided she is too old for. We’re going to sell it on Craigslist (thanks for the tips, Andrea!) and let her use the money for something a bit more suited to her current tastes.

  18. Kimberly says

    My favorite kids toys are the ones my son likes :). I like wooden toys as well, so much safer than plastic!

  19. Dorcas says

    My favorite toys are legos, or building blocks of any kind. Kids can actually use their imagination with them, and the options are endless!

  25. eunice b says

    I’d have to say Lego blocks (or these adorable wooden ones!!!) or the Tupperware Shape toy…we don’t have one, but if I’d find one, I think I’d have to give in! 🙂

    Those are incredibly adorable. I currently have a 6 month old, so my favorites are all baby toys. We don’t go anywhere without Sophie the giraffe from Vulli.

  28. Shawna says

    My favorite toy(s) were the ones that my grandfather made for us!! I still happen to have a few, but my kids aren’t allowed to play with them because Grandpa is now with Jesus!

  29. Shelley says

    My favorite kids’ toy is the Tupperware shape sorter! My children have one, and they love it as much as I did!

  30. Anna says

    My favorite toy is a wooden abacus we bought at IKEA. The Bean loves to click.the beads.back.amd forth, and to sort by color.
    I FB like you already. Going to check out the shop, too.

  34. Brittany says

    My favorite toy is either wooden cars or blocks, but I like to build with the blocks while my 18 month old destroys everything I build!

  36. Sarah says

    I love bins and containers. So much fun to watch little ones learn how to put things in and take things out. Plus they store the toys when not in use!

  37. Cathy says

    I made sure we had some great timeless wooden pieces–I loved going to my grandparents and playing with a doll cradle and high chair that my mother had when she was small, it seemed so strange and fascinating to me! I want that for our daughter’s children so we did invest in a few quality wooden toys and puzzles that can ‘stick around’ for the grandchildren some day.
