Alphabet Blocks

Alphabet blocks are older than kindergarten itself. English writers described letter blocks for teaching children as far back as the 1500s, and Friedrich Froebel, who invented kindergarten, built them into his teaching sets. The design most of us know, one block per letter with a picture for what it stands for, was patented in America by S. L. Hill in 1858.

This set carries that same idea forward. Twenty-six letters and ten counting cards, one clear picture standing in for each, with the color cycling red, blue, yellow, green from A to Z instead of fixing one color to each letter.

The counting cards do not start at one. The first is an empty basket, because zero is the one number you cannot draw, and the balloons begin only after it. What you get is zero through nine, the ten digits every other number is built from.
