Uncle Goose Periodic Table Blocks - Made in The USA

Everyone said it is the perfect gift from someone who loves science and wants to give a science-y gift. Perfect for a science teacher as well, was told that they can be something to put around a classroom to get middle school aged children to talk about the elements.

Cool blocks. You will learn something too.

Love these. Super cute. Very fun. Gets a good chuckle from guests. Took off star because the corners are WAY too sharp for babies. I’m not a super-paranoid mom or anything, but I made these decorative because they are just too sharp for littles.

They are well made, large and look like the picture. You won’t be able to make a periodic table with the blocks because all four sides have elements on them. Total 20 wooden blocks are in the package. Three star for that reason. Disappointed.

Gorgeous blocks. Purchased for a one-year-old with scientist parents. We get tons of compliments.

My son is 5 years old and absolutely loves them , its something hes interested in and it has helped him having the blocks.

Gave this as a gift to my friends 1 year old, they are his favorite now!

I was so disappointed when I realized that these were actually pretty lacking in educational value. Aside from just providing some exposure to the element names, the complete randomness of the color groupings is actually pretty confusing to anyone who knows anything about the periodic table. They could have easily given elements in the same family matching colors. Worse, due to the way the symbols are arranged on each block, it is not possible to line up even the first several blocks in order by atomic number at the same time. Even if you are only trying to teach your kid to COUNT, you will have to re-use a block well before you get to number 10. Was so excited about these, and then so, so disappointed.

I love them. They are colorful and catch my kids eye. The paint scrapes off a little too easily, and they were a little pricey in my opinion but Id buy them again so.

Excellent quality! Printing is very well done, perfectly centered and very clear.
