The 12 Apostles // Saint Block Set
12 Apostles Patron Saint Block Set is the perfect set for celebrating Pentecost. This Set includes: Matthew, John, Peter, Simon, Bartholomew, James the Greater, James the Less, Matthias, Jude, Philip, Andrew, and Thomas
I designed Patron Saint Blocks to be easy to clean, hard to break, beautiful, educational, inspirational and versatile (for tots, little kids, or big kids). Best of all they give the opportunity for prayerful play.
These blocks are just the right size for little hands. They can be used for imaginative play, building, stacking or collecting. I have a print of my original watercolor art on the front. On the back there is a quote or a prayer chosen to inspire little ones and the one that cleans up behind them. The saint's name, feast day and patronage are also listed - I didn't just want these blocks to be cute, I wanted to give a tiny glimpse of the saint's inspiring story. It is so hard to choose just a few words for each of them, but I hope there is just enough information to be a reminder and an inspiration for further learning.
*Includes one cotton muslin drawstring gift bag

HARD MAPLE BLOCKS: the precision cut and super smooth maple wood blocks are approximately 2 3/4 inches x 1 1/2 inches x 3/4 inches. No chemicals or finishes are used.
DECAL: Artwork and prayers are printed professionally on heavy duty, high-tack, weatherproof polyester paper - the same kind that bumper stickers are made of, which gives them as much baby proof durability as possible. :) They are hand cut and laminated so the image is incredibly durable and scratch resistant.
NONTOXIC: No chemicals or finishes on the wood at all. The decal is laminated polyester. The inks are laminated so they never come in contact with children. One of my children is sensitive to toxins, so this is important to me.
