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!

    Blocks seem to be a staple toy for all young children to have. My son has loved playing with some hand me down blocks and Legos, but these would be much cuter for my little 9 mo. old girl. Thanks!

  4. Renee says

    My favorite toys are also the blocks as well as legos. Both bring out a lot of creativity in kids.

  7. Kayla says

    My 5 children love blocks of any kind! We must have 4 or 5 different kinds….. Its amazing the things they come up with to make. 🙂

  9. rachel v. says

    I love books, books and more books! Kids can never have too many books 🙂

  10. Katherine says

    My current favorite is a set of Melissa & Doug musical instruments my son got for Christmas. He loves them, and so do I!

  11. Melanie says

    Melissa and Doug line of wooden play food. We will keep these for our grand kids. I love wooden toys. Thomas the train too.

  12. Bethany says

    I love any wooden toys for my nine month old son! I feel as if they last longer, don’t sound so bad when he throws them on the floor and have even stood the test of my two labs who “steal” his toys from him! 🙂

  14. Susan VB says

    I love our Schleich animals–they are so realistic and the kids love them–from my 1 year old to my 6 year old. Love wooden toys too, though.

  15. Melissa says

    I’ve already liked you on FB… and now I’m off to check out the etsy shop!

  16. Melissa says

    My favorite toys aren’t toys at all! Right now, my 2 year old is fascinated and happy for hours with a damp washcloth. Go figure!

  17. HokieKate says

    I love the Johnny Jump Up; it’s great for keeping my seven month old entertained for 15 minutes while I do crafts or exercise.

    I think my daughter loves her pink stuffed monkey that her daycare teachers got her for Valentine’s Day. I’m not a pink person, but my daughter smiles so big at that soft monkey.

  19. Kelly S says

    I love Melissa and Doug toys… I think my favorites are the ones that are like wooden paper dolls, where you can dress up a person as a firefighter, policeman, ballerina, etc.

  20. Aly says

    I already “like” Simple Organized Living on facebook. Thanks for hosting – great giveaway!

  21. Aly says

    I love wooden blocks! They are timeless and they get the most use in our house. They are used for everything from building to pretend food 🙂

  22. Lora K says

    Right now our favorite toys are the little colorful links! They’re great to attach to other toys or just play with on their own. My little guy loves hanging on to them, waving them aroudn and putting them in his mouth!

  24. Amy Schaffer says

    Blocks are actually my favorite toy for my boys. Blocks tend towards creative play, which I love! Thanks for hosting.

  27. Sue says

    Already a FB fan of Simple Organized Living and now a happy FB fan of Sincerely Abi.

  28. Sue says

    It’s a tie between books and music; both are essential to future success in education. LOVE the blocks!

  30. Michelle C says

    My favorite children’s toy is the exersaucer – those pre-crawling days made my daughter love this, too! It may take up a lot of space, but it’s totally worth it.

  31. Amber says

    My favorite children’s toy is simple book. They read them over and over and we always add new stuff from our imagination to make them extra interesting. I like you on FB.

  33. Danielle H. says

    My favorite children’s toy is my daughter’s shape sorter. It is in the shape of a house and she loves it. Even though she is only 13 months old, she plays with it for 20 minutes at a time.

  34. Deb says

    My favorite toy for my daughter was blocks…FOAM blocks…Once you get past the ‘everything in the mouth’ stage comes the ‘build a tower and knock it down’ stage. And there’s the ‘I’m frustrated so I’m throwing something’ stage. Foam blocks are much less dangerous to furniture, TVs, and people! Also, the foam blocks are big so they create large structures pretty quickly.

  35. Kate says

    We’ve yet to buy our little one any toys, yet somehow she has a closet full! Her favorite right now (at four months) is a Lamaze firefly toy.

  36. Mel says

    I totally agree about the wooden toys. My son has a wooden train set and it is in great condition. I just love its durability (boys can be rough on things). Love these blocks, so beautiful.

  39. Amy says

    I have always loved the Fisher Price pull along dog. One of those oldies but goodies!
