I Want a Preschool Again Because of These Tree Blocks!
Every once in a while I want to own a preschool and kindergarten again just so I can buy 
neat toys and stuff. There were over one thousand exhibitors at the latest National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) conference in Washington D.C. I walked for hours up and down the aisles. And just as I was going into a trance-like state because I was overloaded, I saw a tree house made of pieces of wood that looked like tree trunks and branches. I stopped dead in my tracks. This exhibit was amazing and there were lots of people hanging around too! Besides block sets there are little wooden cars with the bark still on them and playground sets, tables and chairs, and adorable little fairy like creatures (Branch Family) that apparently abide in the tree houses, drive the cars and sit on the furniture.
The company is called Tree Blocks, www.treeblocks.com and their e-mail is elves@treeblocks.com. They were one of the first US companies to offer toys made almost entirely from reclaimed, recycled and sustainably harvested wood. I no longer have a preschool, but I have a grandson. He’s going to be very lucky when Christmas rolls around! By the way, if you check out this web site, I would really appreciate it if you told them you saw this blog @parentpagesnews.com. Thanks so much!
