I wasn’t even looking at the toys, I swear I’d just used a random aisle at Target as a shortcut to my real destination (the Christmas clearance items, ha!) and what did I find?! Wooden Legos.
No, I shouldn’t use the L word, because these Eco Bricks from Once Kids have nothing to do with their more famous cousins, except that they look just. like. them. I saw wooden building bricks a couple of years ago, but kind of assumed they were way too niche to make it into the states. And yet, here is a brand that’s making it happen – and at Target! The only thing I’m unsure of: will they fit with regular Legos or Megablox? I wish I could tell you. Somehow I think they would have yelled at me if I’d ripped open the boxes at Target to check.

This is lovely and perfect for kids !!
Love these wooden “lego” !
I agree – such a nice change from plastic!
Thank you! I completely agree, toys should be toys regardless. Super Girl started out loving everything pink and sparkly – but now she prefers toys that are considered ‘boyish’ but so what – it’s her choice. I find the whole subtext to gender marketing so very interesting and the messages given out to our kids.
