Eguchi Toys was founded in Taipei in 2015 by Kentaro Eguchi, a Japanese designer who studied fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York, holds a Montessori teaching qualification and founded Ivy's House Montessori kindergarten in Taipei in 1997. His team of designers, carpenters and preschool teachers designs and makes the toys in Taiwan, and the line has been shown at Maison\u0026amp;Objet in Paris (2017, 2019, 2024) and the Nuremberg International Toy Fair (2019, 2020). Every toy starts from what children are working on at each stage, then gets a shape and palette an adult is happy to see every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth the investment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt $300 the set works out to about $5.36 per handmade beech block (our math). Solid hardwood blocks don't snap, fade or go out of date, so this is a toy one child grows into and the next child inherits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft cloth and clean water, then dry it right away. Skip alcohol and chemical cleaners, and keep it away from direct sun, heaters and air-conditioning vents, which can make wood expand, contract and crack. (Our advice, based on the wood-care guidance Eguchi publishes for its furniture; VICI doesn't publish care instructions for this toy.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat age is the Eguchi Toys Landscape Blocks Large set for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distributor rates it for ages 3 and up.
