Barkless Tree Blocks - 72 Piece Set

Right, let’s talk about these beautiful Barkless Tree Blocks. Seventy-two pieces of pure, natural joy… enough for the whole class to finally stop fighting over that one perfect wooden cylinder. 

Made from reclaimed wood, these aren't just blocks; they’re little slices of Forest School magic, meticulously debarked and softened so they’re perfect even for your youngest explorers (recommended 3 years+). The natural cracks and unique wood grain give them a gorgeous, almost ivory-like appearance, adding a fantastic sensory dimension to the construction area.

Sizes vary from a tidy 6cm up to a grand 17cm, and the set includes discs, bridges, walls with windows, and blocks cut in specific lengths (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10cm). Why? Because we love making early math and metric learning feel like an accidental game! 

They’re a classic Waldorf resource that offers genuinely imaginative ways for children to create and build. Plus, we’ve chucked in a net bag for storage, because let's face it, tidying up needs all the help it can get.
