Egyptian Hieroglyphic Blocks (Age 8+)
We can’t even imagine living in a world without alphabet blocks.
What are Egyptian Hieroglyphics? Thank GOODNESS the ancient Egyptians believed it was important to communicate and record information! Like in modern times, there were many languages of ‘scripts’ at the time, the most common is believed to be hieroglyphs. We have been able to translate their written language from long ago which has given us much insight into our history. Cool huh?

First, Uncle Goose has many awesome wooden block sets for kids and probably some that are much more popular, but I think this one with the hieroglyphs are amazing! I think a hieroglyph set is a pretty cool block set for kids because it represents early learning and language and I found it was a great way to talk to my preschooler about the Egyptians as we watched her little sis. These blocks are beautiful, unique and just amazing heirloom quality. Check out their website for all their amazing blocks sets including an adorable Nursery Rhyme set!
