I used to loooooove those blocks as a kid. My grandparents had a set at their house and my brother and would play with them for hours. The cream "1's" and the red "2's" were always my favourite.
I haven't seen cuisenaire rods since I was a child - mine came in a grey box! I can't remember us ever using them for maths (which was their original purpose), we used to build towers with them - just like your photos! Your pictures brought back some great memories.
Love this! Reminds me of blocks from when I was young...used to love the 'crimson' blocks - a colour not mentioned in a long time :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the blast from the past.
Love the colours. We have some of these i must get them out!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get these blocks, Lauren? We got some in the US, but had to leave them behind, and Kai loved them!

ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to sit down and play, too!
