Description
This assortment of two dozen blocks offers an interesting and engaging variety of ways for children to learn. Engraved and boldly painted letters capture much of the alphabet and single digits. Portraits of presidents give the dates of their terms – a chronology of American political history. Perhaps the most fun is a somewhat rudimentary map of the continental United States that identifies each state capital. Sadly, the block showing Maine is missing, replaced with a duplicate of the Atlantic Ocean label. Undated, but the last president shown is Warren G. Harding (1921 – 1923).
