Here's a "Covid Quarantine" idea (wine generated to be sure) to occupy some of my time. I'm confident folks here are familiar with Leggos. I've stepped on countless ones barefoot in the wee hours of the morning. The only thing more enjoyable is trodding barefoot on cat puke in the dark while half asleep.
So! What would you (parents & especially Grandparents) think of wooden "Leggo-like" building blocks made of natural finished woods. But really large. Take a classic leggo block; [pictured], and expand the dimensions to about 3.5" for the width. I've a 3 year old grandson and another grandson on the way.
Large leggos are even more fun than little ones. The only problem with wood is I wonder if the weight would be a problem in blocks that are solid enough to handle wear and tear.
Very good point UDA.
I'm planning on using various woods for the blocks & oak for all the "pegs". I'll give them all a good coat or two of clear polyurethane. Still, I'd expect wear and tear to occur.
Me & my brothers' favorite toy for years was a set of sturdy cardboard boxes printed with a brick pattern, about the size of a shoebox, each, that we built walls out of, jumped of off, hurtled at each other, pretty much every day.
Hmm...
Forgotten about "weaponizing" toys.
And boys will be boys. Thanks for reminding me Anne! Maybe rounding the edges.....
