The 16 Step Gable shapes are based on Dutch roof lines, and anyone who has been to the Netherlands, Amsterdam in particular, will have seen these amazing shapes. These sparkly gems are opaque, meaning not see-through, and there is a gem on one side. They come in a beautiful wooden tray. The blocks work well together with the other Papoose Coin sets, or any other block sets, even if they are of different heights.
The sizes are based on 10cm x 2.5cm.
Please note: small marks on the gems are considered normal, it doesn't happen that much but occasionally there may be some small specks or a small mark. Please consider this a sign of the hand work involved in making these blocks, it does not detract form the play value.

The Creative Wood Company wood care instructions: We aim to have the least amount of non-natural finish on our products. Wood is a natural material and will dry out over time. We mainly use food safe oil to bring out the colour in the wood, if your article starts to look like it needs some care it can simply be re-oiled. Coconut oil can be used or a food safe oil.
