Now that buying handmade, eco kids toys is trendy, the costs have soared as high as CO2 emissions.  Germany has long been known to manufacture quality wooden kids toy, but Portland?!  Well yes. 

We came across these beatifully hand cut and sanded, children's wooden blocks that are both a visual delight and created with conservation in mind.  They are made in Portland and appear to be every bit as authentic and pure as you'd expect.

So go ahead ... line 'em up and topple them over.   Play with your kids, or just do it for the hell of it all by yourself because the joy of seeing how high you can pile up blocks, well, never really stops being fun :)

$25 for a set of 80.   Try and find those prices in Deutchland!
