Toy Spotlight: Ms. Rachel Wooden Learning Blocks

September 29, 2024

We’re here to spell it out for you: Our new Ms. Rachel toys are here — including a beautiful set of wooden alphabet and learning blocks!

Ms. Rachel, if you don't know, is a huge star in the baby and toddler world, thanks to her popular educational videos. She's a passionate educator—a real teacher!—who creates research-based videos and products to help children and their families learn, bond, and thrive. This new toy collection, developed by Ms. Rachel, and a team of child development experts in collaboration with Spin Master and Melissa & Doug, takes inspiration from Ms. Rachel and her videos supporting language development and early childhood milestones. 

The Ms. Rachel Wooden Learning Blocks make for a great educational toy, introducing toddlers ages 18 months and up to letters, numbers, emotions, animals, body parts, and more. The blocks, along with the included activity cards, can be used for little learning games that can help encourage speech, turn-taking, sorting, memory, fine motor, and social skills.
