Your baby's excitement will build when she sees these beautiful blocks. Catchy colors and patterns decorate this 16-piece set of Cordoba Building Blocks from HABA, which can be an ideal addition to an existing collection of blocks or a super starter set in itself. Sturdy and durable, these blocks are full of imagination and whimsy, and are ready to entertain your little one.

A wood manufacturing company that is known for their high-quality baby and children's toys, HABA has spared no expense in the design and creation of these playful blocks. Made of beechwood, each of the blocks is carefully sanded to remove rough edges and is coated in a nontoxic child friendly paint. Though these blocks are recommended for those age 18 months and up, littler ones will appreciate the colorful shapes, some that make sound and some with added texture.

The Cordoba Building Blocks retail for $39.99 and can be found locally at Brilliant Sky Toys & Books, Barnes & Noble or buybuy Baby.
