Our family absolutely loves wooden blocks. Whether building skyscrapers or knocking down skyscrapers, everyone in our family, from one-something to thirty-something, enjoys playing with our wooden block set. Of course that set is a cheap, off-the-shelf bucket of blocks that most likely isn’t as CPSIA friendly - and definitely isn’t as nostalgic and fun - as the Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Wooden Block Set from Holgate Toys.

I grew up with Mr. Rogers and his fantastical neighborhood, so when I saw this block set I knew it was definitely a future Christmas gift idea for my kids. The set features beloved characters and places from Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood including Henrietta Pussycat, King Friday XIII and Lady Elaine Fairchilde’s Museum-Go-Round. The set is made in the USA and includes 26 smooth, 100% kiln-dried, hardwood blocks finished with non-toxic paints.

Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Wooden Block Set even comes with a lifetime guarantee not to warp or splinter and exceeds American CPSIA safety guidelines for painted wooden toys. You can purchase the set - and relive some of your childhood - for $38 from Amazon.com. - Emily H.
