Haba Sevilla Building Blocks are made from beechwood and measure 2 inches. Their size and shape makes them easily stackable, and the bright colors make kids want to play with them. Included in the set of 25 building blocks are a block with a rattle, a block with a bell, a block with a prism, a block with a mirror, a block with a magnifier, and a block with a peep hole. Recommended for ages 1 1/2 and up, they are designed to be compatible with other Haba building blocks as well.

Fun for a boy or a girl, these blocks would make a great Christmas gift. At $70, they won’t break the bank, either. Take a closer look at LandbridgeToys.com.

These Stackable Seats by Whitney Brothers come in a set of three ottoman-like stools that nest together for easy storage. Your child’s room is always evolving as his needs and interests change from age to age. It’s a real help to have furniture that can be easily moved to suit a new room plan. You may want to have all three seats out to create a reading area, or combined with a low table for art activities, writing/coloring, or snacking. If your child is having a sleepover with hir friends and you need more floor space, just stack the seats into a corner.

The seats measure 14″ H x 17″ W x 17″ D and cost $199 at  allchildrensfurniture.com.
