Nesting blocks are one of Greyson's go-to favorite toys. It's such a perfectly simple toy that so much can be done with them (much more than just stacking and nesting!). We have a Melissa and Doug set (shown below) with the alphabet on them. Greyson will stack the blocks, and then we sing our alphabet song while pointing to the letters (forward and backward just for fun). We'll also use the nesting blocks as a mountain for our Army men to climb, as well as hiding spots when the Army men climb in the boxes. Nesting blocks are one of those versatile toys that's just begging for an imagination to turn it into all it can be.
Is anyone else as excited as me that there are Eric Carle and Dr. Seuss sets of nesting blocks?
