Areaware’s wish is to create a forum for young and local talent and to become a strong voice for American design. Fusing beautiful design with efficacy and function, Areaware makes everyday objects – like puzzles, building blocks, kites, rattles and other toys – that are far from ordinary. The Brooklyn-based company brings together leading American designers from all over the country to make its innovative, clever products that will make any nursery a happier place.

Block play is a timeless developmental activity that teaches your child to use his or her motor skills, logical thinking, concentration, imagination and enhances hand-eye coordination. Blocks can be a solo activity or played in a group setting and are a great tool to teach new words. The Areaware Balancing Blocks are unlike typical blocks because they are multi-faceted stone-size shapes, which allow your child to create unique and abstract sculptures. The set includes ten blocks that have been tumbled in a water-based paint and come with a cotton drawstring bag for easy clean-up and storage.

• Stimulates motor skills, logical thinking and concentration
