Greener Roofs and Gardens will release a set of natural building blocks called Learning Branches, to help kids learn through connection to nature. Blocks challenge children in core skills such as construction, imaginative play and early math skills. This set, designed from several types of wood, puts nature center stage, so that children can be inspired by the creative options and beauty of natural textures, colors and shapes. Included is a multipurpose cedar box that can be a platform for construction, part of the imaginative play experience and a tool for teaching proper cleanup.

Engaging with nature has been proven to be an essential part of a healthy childhood. Hand-crafted in southeast Wisconsin, this set includes 12 dimensional blocks, 18 branch blocks and a cedar box with lid, at a cost of $85.
